Lessons in chemistry : a novel

A novel that pulls no punches!  After being fired from her underpaid job at a research facility and in desperate need of money, scientist Elizabeth Zott agrees to host an afternoon TV cooking show—which she promptly turns into a program that incorporates basic chemistry lessons. Set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there is overt sexism at nearly every turn. But Zott also has fans, friends, and supporters, including a small daughter and a large dog--both prodigies. There’s also a love story or two.
