Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus follows the story of Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant but underappreciated chemist in the 1960s. Despite her exceptional talent and groundbreaking work, Elizabeth faces constant sexism and discrimination in the male-dominated scientific community. Her career falters as she struggles to gain recognition for her research, and after an unwanted pregnancy, Elizabeth is fired from her job at a prestigious laboratory. She ends up as the host of a low-budget cooking show, where she combines her love for science with culinary techniques, offering women practical advice and scientific wisdom. Through this unexpected platform, Elizabeth becomes a role model, challenging societal norms and using her newfound influence to subtly fight back against the gender-based inequities of the time.

As the show gains popularity, Elizabeth's personal life intertwines with her public persona, bringing her closer to an unconventional family. Throughout her journey, she navigates the complexities of love, motherhood, and professional identity. The novel delves into themes of resilience, empowerment, and the search for a meaningful existence beyond societal expectations. Elizabeth's character becomes a symbol of defiance and strength as she continues to push for equality in a world that tries to keep her in a box. With wit and humor, Lessons in Chemistry explores the intersection of science, gender, and personal growth in a changing world.
