Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman.

Jim's Review
🐛
Elizabeth Zott is Jim's new hero. A chemist who refuses to dumb things down, a dog named Six-Thirty who understands words, and a 1960s cooking show that secretly teaches science? Jim ate this book up like a worm at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Garmus writes with sharp wit and genuine heart. It's feminist, funny, and occasionally infuriating in the best way. Jim wanted to stand up and cheer — if worms could stand, that is.
