In 1960s California, Elizabeth Zott — a chemist who is not taken seriously in her field — becomes the unlikely host of a daytime cooking show, where she treats cooking as chemistry and accidentally inspires a generation of women to think differently about their intelligence and their lives. A witty, determined novel about how women change the world from the room they're allowed to occupy.
