En savoir plus sur le livre
Set in 1960s California, this debut novel is a humorous and uplifting tale of a female scientist whose career is constantly undermined by societal expectations of women. Elizabeth Zott, a unique and determined individual, navigates a world where her scientific ambitions clash with the prevailing belief that a woman’s place is in the home. Despite her qualifications, Elizabeth faces discrimination from her peers, who are anything but scientific regarding equality. A turning point occurs when she meets Calvin Evans, a superstar colleague who treats her and her ideas as equals. Their chemistry is undeniable, but three years later, Elizabeth finds herself an unwed single mother and the star of a popular cooking show, Supper at Six. Through her unconventional cooking methods—like combining H2O and sodium chloride—Elizabeth not only teaches women how to cook but also empowers them to challenge the status quo. With its laugh-out-loud humor, keen observations, and a vibrant cast of characters, this story celebrates Elizabeth's journey as she transforms the lives of those around her while defying societal norms.
