Lessons in Chemistry Book Club

In this book club episode of Literature on the Rocks, Sunny, Rachel, and Rox return to the world of Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus for a conversation that is equal parts thoughtful, inspiring, and deeply personal. We discuss what made Elizabeth Zott such a compelling character and whether we admired her unwavering commitment to being her authentic self. Her tenacity, confidence, and refusal to shrink herself for the comfort of others sparked a conversation about the courage it takes to live honestly—even when the world pushes back. We also explore how the role of women has changed since the 1960s and where progress still needs to be made. How far have we come, and in what ways are women still fighting many of the same battles Elizabeth faced decades ago? And because this book celebrates curiosity and learning, we share the subjects we would love to become experts in if given the chance. From lifelong passions to skills we've always wanted to master, it's a conversation that reminded us that it's never too late to keep learning. Full spoilers, meaningful discussions, and plenty of appreciation for Elizabeth Zott. Grab a drink and join us. 🥃⚗️✨
