Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (2022) Doubleday

One of the best books I've read this year.  A look into the world of scientific discovery and the indomitable spirit of a woman determined to defy societal norms.  A witty and thought-provoking novel.  The reader is introduced to the brilliant but unconventional scientist Elizabeth Zott.  Garmus skillfully weaves themes of ambition, feminism, and the pursuit of knowledge, creating a narrative both entertaining and deeply resonant with the limitations men are trying to put on women today.  A celebration of intellect, tenacity, and the courage to break through barriers in the pursuit of one's dreams.
