Lessons in Chemistry: Bonnie Garmus

Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.

But it`s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind. True chemistry results.

Like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America`s most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth`s unusual approach to cooking (`combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride`) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn`t just teaching women to cook. She`s daring them to change the status quo.
