Elizabeth Zott isn’t just a character—she’s a revolution in a lab coat. In Session 2 of our Female Fiction Reads book club, we’re diving into Bonnie Garmus’ bestselling novel Lessons in Chemistry, a story our group rated an incredible 4.6 out of 5 stars.
This episode explores the powerful themes that made this book unforgettable:
- How Supper at Six transformed kitchens into classrooms of empowerment.
- Why Calvin’s sudden death and Elizabeth’s grief still spark debate.
- The weight of internalized misogyny—and how women continue to push back.
- The bold quotes that made us shout “booyah!” in our discussion.
- Faith, science, and the fight for women to be seen beyond “pretty.”
