Lessons in Chemistry Special Edition - Hardcover

by Bonnie Garmus (Author)

An elegant, deluxe edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller--marking the 2nd anniversary of its publication--that will make the perfect gift or treat for yourself.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out 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. When she finds herself unwed and pregnant, she's forced out, reluctantly taking a job as the host of the TV cooking show Supper at Six. But Elizabeth has no intention of sticking to the recipe. Instead, she teaches women what they're really made of - at the molecular level. And in doing so, dares them to change the status quo.
