Lisa discusses Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, published in 2022 and an overnight success. The book focuses on Scientist Elizabeth Zott, who struggles in the early 1960s with a sexist all-male research team at the Hastings Research Institute. 

The New York Times highlights how Garmus learned chemistry and researched texts from the 1950s to write this book.
