This month I’m recommending Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
This is the story of Elizabeth Zott, a scientist who is trying to establish herself in the 1950s.
She has to fight a lot of prejudice against women and female scientists in particular. She is an unmarried mother, which was much less acceptable then that it is now. And she has a wonderful dog, Six-Thirty, who understands a lot more than many humans.
The characters are well- drawn and colourful. This story keeps us engaged. And although things are not yet perfect for women we are appreciative of how much better they are now than they were then.
Bonny Garmus certainly keep us guessing in the story for Every Woman, Lessons in Chemistry.
