SUMMARY:PBS Books Readers Club - "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books Readers Club welcomes international best-selling author Bonnie Garmus to discuss her novel Lessons in Chemistry. The episode premieres on July 30th at 8PM ET on Facebook\, YouTube\, and the PBS App. \nLessons in Chemistry follows Elizabeth Zott\, a brilliant young chemist who struggles to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of the 1950s. She forms a deep connection with her colleague and renowned chemist\, Calvin Evans. But like science\, life is unpredictable\, and Zott unexpectedly finds herself a single mother\, reluctantly hosting a cooking show—Supper at Six. While the show appears to be about cooking\, Zott uses it as a platform to teach housewives not just about chemistry\, but also to value their time and self-worth\, ultimately becoming an unexpected feminist icon. \nLessons in Chemistry is a mix of humor\, social commentary\, and heart\, exploring themes like feminism\, scientific passion\, and the struggle for respect in the workplace. It’s a unique and thought-provoking story that combines wit with deeper reflections on women’s roles in both science and society. \nPBS Watch-Alike: The Great American Recipe \nThis friendly cooking competition follows home cooks from all around the country. Celebrating America’s rich culture through cuisine\, this show emphasizes how food helps to shape our heritage\, identity\, and community.
