📖 This Month’s Pick:
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Synopsis:
Set in the early 1960s, Lessons in Chemistry follows Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant chemist whose career is sidelined by a male-dominated scientific community. When she unexpectedly becomes the host of a popular cooking show, Elizabeth uses the platform to challenge traditional gender roles and encourage women to see themselves as capable, intelligent, and powerful. Witty, sharp, and heartfelt, this novel explores ambition, resilience, love, and what it means to live life on your own terms.
