When Bonnie Garmus, 64, began her debut novel, she didn’t imagine it would make the New York Times spring reading list or be optioned for an Apple TV+ series starring Academy Award winner Brie Larson. After losing her science job, Zott reluctantly hosts a cooking show called “Supper at Six.” But rather than present as a perky, pretty hostess, Zott rattles the network and goes off script, teaching the chemistry of cooking and empowering her mostly female audience to view themselves differently. In “Lessons in Chemistry,” Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant young chemist and single parent who comes up against sexism and abuse in academia and the workplace in the 1950s and 1960s.
