A runaway favourite of book clubs the world over, Bonnie Garmus's debut novel Lessons in Chemistry transports readers to early 1960s California. Elizabeth Zott – single mother and brilliant chemist – unexpectedly finds herself hosting a television cooking show, and changes hearts and minds in the process. Inspired by Garmus's mother's generation of overlooked and under-acknowledged women, Lessons in Chemistry examines the gender pay gap, misogyny in the workplace and women's rights. At her only Melbourne event on her first Australian tour, Garmus sits down with host Astrid Edwards to discuss her breakthrough novel. Together, they explore her funny and feisty heroine, the surprising fan phenomenon of Six-Thirty the dog, and how the novel's historical setting sheds light on the truths of today. This event was presented in partnership with RMIT Culture. It was recorded on May 21st 2024 at Melbourne Town Hall. The official bookseller was Readings. Featured music is ‘Traveling Again' by Sarah the Illstrumentalist.

Hello Libration Nation! This week I'm joined by Haley Houghton, an educator and book enthusiast. The book we discuss is “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus. For our drink we chose coffee (this was recorded in the morning and as busy moms we weren't quite ready to get at it), and Haley added a little chemistry twist by making it in an Aeropress. In this episode we discuss turning 40, our two person only book-club, and the general bad-assery of Bonnie Garmus in writing the strong, quirky, brilliant female character Elizabeth Zott.Haley mentions this story is a tragicomedy, which is right on and there are some great read-alike out there if you want more like this book:Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria SempleEleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail HoneymanThe Elegance of the Hedgehog* by Muriel Barbery*We did refer to this as The Elegance of the Porcupine which I think is a very cute and relatable mistake

Join BOSS Anne Ganguzza, alongside guest co-host, Lau Lapides, as they explore the landscape of female entrepreneurship, including in the voiceover industry. Listen in as they discuss the historical and contemporary hurdles women have faced, from the 1950s through modern times. Lau shares her experiences in juggling motherhood and a professional career, providing a real-life perspective on the intricate dance of working from home with children. Anne discusses her non-traditional path to business success in the tech and VO industries. This conversation celebrates the resilience and creativity of women who are redefining success in their entrepreneurial journeys. 00:01 - Intro (Announcement) It's time to take your business to the next level, the boss level. These are the premier business owner strategies and successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a boss, a V-O boss. Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza.  00:20 - Anne (Host) Hey everyone, welcome to the V-O Boss podcast and the Boss Superpower series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, and I'm here with my special, awfully lovely boss guest, co-host Law Lapides.  00:32 - Lau (Co-host) Oh, thank you, Annie, hey Lau. Thank you, hey. I'm excited about our topic today.  00:38 - Anne (Host) Well, yeah, so Law, I've been watching Lessons in Chemistry and that is on Apple Plus for those of you who have not seen it. But basically it takes place in the 1950s and the main character who is Elizabeth Zott? She has a dream of being a scientist and works in a lab, but she is constantly challenged by a society that says women belong in the domestic sphere. And I just watched the episode and I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but I'm going to give away one spoiler here. So, guys, if you want to watch it and you don't want to have a spoiler, just turn this down right now for sure.  01:14 So basically, she gets fired because she's pregnant. So now that I'm going to date myself. But I said to my husband, jerry, that doesn't make sense, they can't fire her for being pregnant. And he goes oh my gosh, back in that day they absolutely could. And I was like whoa, that just blew my mind and I thought, gosh, I think women have it hard now these days. And that's what I want to talk to you about Law, because I just want to talk about what it's like to be a female entrepreneur. And I want to talk to you because you're one of the best entrepreneurs I know. I mean, you run a studio, you're a talent agent, I'm a demo producer things that aren't typically prevalent, I guess, even now in today's day, for women to do so I thought we should talk about that today.  01:58 - Lau (Co-host) I love the leading lady subject. I just think it's one of my favorites Absolutely. And you're right about that Jerry's right about that Because I remember my mom talking a lot about that that even into the 80s, 90s and 2000s in corporate America there was something called the mommy track. So anyone who was training for financial advisor, accountant and such was very careful about what they said about getting married or having children, because they didn't want to be rerouted into the mommy track, meaning they're capped in every way.  02:33 - Anne (Host) They're capped on promotion, they're capped on salary, they're capped on all of this, they won't get their job when they come back. And it's funny because, now that you mentioned that, I do remember that in the 2000s and it's incredible to me. So here we are entrepreneurs, bosses, out there, you're entrepreneurs as well, and I don't think that this needs to be. This is certainly not a discussion where we're just going to be bitter and complaining.  02:55 However, I think we need to talk about some of the hardships of being an entrepreneur. First of all, being an entrepreneur is a hard thing. What sort of hardships have you encountered yourself, Law, and how have you overcome them? Because I think that we can learn a lot from that, from your story.  03:12 - Lau (Co-host) Such a great question, that's such a huge, open-ended question and the first vision Annie that came to my mind was a client that I work with, a coach on Zoom, and she's a mom and she has a couple younger ones, meaning under the age of like 12, a couple young kids, and when I'm coaching her as a voice over talent, the kids are running in and out of her studio, in and out of her booth, in and out of her curtain and one side of it she's a great mom, like she's really patient, she never yells, she's just great. But one side of me I have to be honest with you. I'm going to be honest with your people because they deserve it. One side of me thinks it's awesome because she can work from home, she can multitask, she can save money, she can still be a mom and be a good role model to them so they can see her working and being impassioned. The other side of me is irked, irked to death, because I'm thinking to myself you're not going to do that with a client, right? You're not going to do that if I represent you and send you out, and then your little kid is pulling down the curtain in the booth right, and I lose trust in that situation. I'm going to be honest. Maybe it's a non-PC thing to say, but that's how people think when it comes to running something. So is a fine line, I think, and I was one of those.  04:35 I raised two children. I was one of those moms where I raised them out of my studio. I actually homeschooled them as crazy as that sound. We had a whole village of people working with them and it was out of my studio and I was constantly multitasking the noise level. I'm killing each other, legos everywhere, them under the desk, and there was a beauty to the whole thing that there was this bonding that you could go through with them. And then there was a horror show as well, because it was embarrassing and there were clients there and some clients love the kids and others hate kids.  05:10 So it's like there are all these levels and layers to that kind of parental mindset, at least from my perspective, that you have to go through step by step, year by year, age by age, and it changes, and it changes often dramatically. It never stays the same Absolutely. And women, no matter how progressive the male is, whether they're a husband, a partner, a friend, whoever maybe they're working from home, maybe they're whatever I find more often than not with all my friends, all my female colleagues, it falls on them, the heavy falls on them. There is still this mindset in 2024, that I got to go to work, I got things to do, I got priority tasks, but because you're a female, you're so good, you can handle it all, you can do it. You take the reins while you're trying to run your business.  06:05 - Anne (Host) Sure, that's the thing, and I think that also there are many, I would say, women pioneers of many different things, and I am of the belief that, yes, women sometimes have to work three or four times harder in order to get any type of credit, and a lot of times there are women who pioneer things who never get credit and ultimately that is very frustrating and I find it even today, as progressive as we've become, I mean, there's still a long way to go, I think.  06:34 For number one, just to be an entrepreneur, I think it's looked upon in terms of, like gosh, when I was trying to get a loan when I worked for myself full time, I felt like I suffered a little bit of, I don't know, discrimination. It was very difficult to assure things like loans, where I feel as though a male counterpart would be able to get a loan a heck of a lot easier if they were an entrepreneur. Also, just getting ahead, I'm going to say that right now there's not a ton of demo producers that are females out there in the industry and I feel like it's tough trying to get noticed out there because there's not many of us out there, and then ultimately, it would be nice if there was recognition, maybe more recognition for the female demo producers out there and I'm just talking about demo producers, but just female, any entrepreneur out there and it wasn't that long ago, really, that women couldn't even get loans.  07:30 - Lau (Co-host) They couldn't even open a bank account without permission from their husband. It wasn't that long ago. So, when you think about just the freedom of being able to have credit go into debt, who would call that a freedom? But I mean the point is, it's like it's an independence as a business owner to be able to say, okay, here's what I'm investing in, here's what I'm incurring for debt, here are the accounts I'm going to do, here's my investments for retirement. And, as a woman, there's a tremendous freedom in independence, in being able to do that. It's not to say that you shouldn't have a team or a partner people helping you and working with you. It is to say, though, that you should take that right, and you should run with that ball and enjoy the right of being able to do these things that we could not do even 30 years ago some of those.  08:24 - Anne (Host) Well, I've spoken to people about this. We even had a podcast episode where we talked about what we did prior to our businesses today, and I was a female engineer in the late 1980s. That was kind of a tough road. And then I went into technology as a female and that was also a tough road, and so being a female entrepreneur is even tougher. Sometimes I'm finding certain things are difficult difficult for us to achieve, difficult for us to get recognition, difficult and, like you said, with the loans and all of that, it's just so interesting. So, la, what do you do to progress and move your business forward as a female?  09:04 - Lau (Co-host) entrepreneur. Yeah, it's a hard thing to answer. I mean, there's one technique that I found myself doing just kind of like, in an autonomic kind of way. It wasn't a planned thing, but I noticed there have been situations where I've been with many men or all male like. Let's say, I'm in a conference room or I'm online and I'm in a meeting and there happens to be very male heavy, which I adore, and I have, like you do, many, many male colleagues which I absolutely love working with.  09:30 But I find there's a different dynamic that happens in the way I communicate versus the way this kind of energy communicates, and oftentimes I find that I start to role play, or I'm either seen in a certain light or I start to role play, and usually it's like the role play of the mother, the wife, the sister, the whatever that I know. To some degree they're seeing me in just because of the qualities that I exude, sure, and I kind of role play with that meaning. You know, I don't play a character, but I role play in the sense that I know that they're looking at these qualities and I also know that there are times where they just bulldoze right over me like they literally won't hear what I'm saying because they're in the middle of their communication and I let that happen. I let that ride. I feel actually empowered by that because I know I have no problem.  10:24 This is a technique we always taught live presenters. I've no problem interrupting them culturally, doesn't matter to me whether it's appropriate or not. I have no problem talking right over them. And I found that in order to redirect energy, sometimes you have to be culturally rude as a woman, because you have to have your voice heard Absolutely. And you have to have that without and here's the thing we were talking about in the last podcast without ruining or stomping on their spirit, without making them feel like I'm at them or I'm hurting them or a threat. I think that there's a fine line, there's a strategy in that, like how you strategize, like being heard, inserting what you need to insert into listening attentively, but making sure you're not the daisy on the wall. You're not forgotten Absolutely.  11:15 And that's on us. I mean, it really is, that's on us. I could easily sit back and get really angry at that and say I can't even get a word in edgewise. Are they not listening to what I just said? Or whatever. Instead, I go in and I correct it. I go in and I redirect it. I go in and I do whatever action verb I can come up with, because I always view it as a teaching moment. Sure, it's a teaching moment where I can teach my audience how to communicate with me.  11:40 - Anne (Host) I love the redirection of it. Yeah, like you said, rather than getting angry or stomping on someone's ego, which it really is a lot of ego anyways, I know in the corporate world that's really what it played out to be. It was a lot of ego and a lot of times, if I was in the boardroom and I was the only female, or maybe one of two females first of all, they always wanted me to take notes or be the secretary. People would always say, well, yeah, you can be the secretary.  12:06 You can be the secretary of the board and I'm like actually I'll be the president.  12:10 - Lau (Co-host) I like that.  12:11 - Anne (Host) Right, and that's really how it worked. I was the president of a board and ultimately, they wanted me initially to be the secretary, and I said, well, yeah, no, no, I'm actually not a really good note taker, so I redirected the energy to say, you know, I'm just no.  12:26 I'm not fast. I'd love to be fast, but I'm not. I'm not fast at all. I type with four fingers. That's great, I love that and that's basically what happened. And so I love how you say to redirect it, because, yeah, I mean I don't necessarily want to stomp on anybody because, again, you take that risk of being looked upon as being the difficult one, the difficult one, the angry one, the witchy one, and honestly, you're darned if you do and you're darned if you don't.  12:50 Sometimes with that, that's right. But I like how you say you don't have any problems interrupting and redirecting. I think that's a great tactic. It's a good thing.  12:57 - Lau (Co-host) It's a good thing to learn how to do that. I also think another option for you and again I try to look at it take a step back and look at a strategy, a choice redefine the role. If someone says I want you to play this role in this moment and I'm like I don't want to play that role, or that's a typical role that they'd ask their mother to play, right, I might say yes to that, and the reason I'd say that yes to that is because I can do it. It's not a difficult thing for me to do. I want to be helpful. But then I'm going to redefine what the role is so the role does not become a passive role of like, in your case, a no-take or a stereotypical role, or get me a coffee, or I don't know whatever  13:34 that stereotypical thing is. I would want to play it as many of the female leaders political female leaders in the world, where they don't mind cooking for their colleagues, or maybe they'd get them a coffee, but then they're going to tell them exactly what the strategy is for the company or for the war or for the whatever. So if you do become that omnidynamic kind of person I don't know if you saw a Barbie you know the billion-dollar Barbie movie, right? But Barbie was always known as, at least in our time, was like. Barbie kept re-envisioning and redefining what a woman could be and evolving.  14:12 And evolving, and that's why we really liked Barbie or loved Barbie, because it wasn't just this one thing that you were in.  14:18 - Intro (Announcement) Absolutely.  14:19 - Lau (Co-host) It was really kept going and still today even keeps going, and I see it as that. I see it as I can make the choice to keep redefining the role that others see me in.  14:30 - Anne (Host) Yeah, and I love that. I love that so much, actually, and I think that, as entrepreneurs, right, take on the role and then create your own definition, or redefine the stereotypical definition Now, in terms of being seen right, being seen as a leader, right, being seen as an entrepreneurial leader. What sort of tips do you have for that? Because I like to say, when you redefine the role, you don't necessarily have to lead everyone, but you have to be seen as competent, as being as competent as everyone else within your role, right? Yes, so I am just as competent, if not more competent, as the role of a demo producer or the role of my Angangusa voice production company, as any other person, yes, I mean play to an audience at all times, even if it's an imaginary audience yes, the imaginary jury, so to speak, that I'm always a leader, whether someone is there or not, and I'm alone.  15:29 - Lau (Co-host) Love that I'm still a leader, or at least I perceive myself to be a leader. Sure, I don't want to lose the qualities of the leadership and the leader. I want to continue that role. I want to play it every day, I want to manifest that role. So, in essence, it feels at home to me, but it also keeps me practicing the role. It practices how I would react, how I would behave, how I would make problem-solving choices, how I would do all of these things. Because I know and this is what keeps us up at night, right as entrepreneurs is I know there's going to be difficulties and they're never going to end, and so I have to be able to face with courage and just say listen, I just am not always going to want that or like it or feel comfortable with it, and sometimes I'm going to be scared to death. Oh, yes, I have to feel the fear and do it anyway. I have to practice it.  16:20 - Anne (Host) Well, yeah, that's so wonderful, I mean, and that's just great advice for entrepreneurship in general is face the fear. And I think that, no matter what you're doing and just saying this, and having been in the industry a long time and mostly being in roles that were traditionally not female oriented, I had to, I think, work extra hard to educate myself so that I could prove to myself, first of all, that I could do it. And when I was able to do that, I gained the confidence in order to be able to manifest further progression and advancement. And again, like you said, you're the leader, whether people are looking or not. And so and it is scary my gosh I face fears every day, just as an entrepreneur, and sometimes even more as a female, because I don't know necessarily what I'm doing, when I'm defining a new role.  17:12 And so, therefore, I'm defining a new role. I'm going to educate myself as much as I possibly can about everything that surrounds that role. And if it's a role that hasn't been defined, then I need to educate myself on everything that is around that role that can help me to define it. And, of course, sometimes you just have to manifest it and you just have to take a leap of faith and say here it is, here is how I define it. And there you go and be confident in that, and that's scary as sh**t.  17:44 - Lau (Co-host) Law, and not only that, and as women, at least women from our you're like the fifth friend of mine, colleague of mine that we literally said the same exact thing over and over again the last week. That is, we are from a generation of really hard work ethic. We get up, we work, we do it, keep doing it. Forget about yourself, just do it do it.  18:05 Please, please others, be likable, be amenable. You know all these things which in essence is good. From a spiritual perspective it is good, but from a business perspective it can be very harmful, because when you do that, I want everybody to like me, law, I need your thing. It then becomes about you rather than about them, about the client. So I have to keep check of that all the time.  18:30 That's a fight I have too Pleaser, a very much a host type, and I don't want to lose that quality, but I don't want it to take the place of true grit and leadership and leadership of making sure that what I'm saying and what I'm doing is not being done for the wrong reason.  18:47 - Anne (Host) Yeah, I totally agree with you. There's a lot to be said about leadership and leadership qualities, and what does it take to be a good leader? Yes, to define roles that haven't previously existed. I think it takes definitely a lot of courage, and I think having people on your team, no matter who they are, can be super helpful in this, because it's a scary road, especially when you're doing things for the first time and they've not been done. And so having somebody to bounce off an idea to say, well, what do you think about this, do you think?  19:17 And not worrying, that's tough. Not necessarily worrying so much about what people will think will people like me? Especially because, yeah, I think you and I I'm people pleasers and, of course, I want people to like me and it really upsets me when people don't, and that's just an ingrained part of my personality. But I realized that if I want to be a leader and I want to break new ground and sometimes I will do that and not get any credit for it, and you know what that's okay, I have to figure out. Do I try to spend all my energy trying to get credit for it? Not necessarily, because for me, it's more about the education and the challenge to myself and then, ultimately, I believe, or I want to believe, that at some point people will recognize it, just because I've proven things over and, over and over again. Absolutely.  20:08 - Lau (Co-host) And I think many of us, in many fields, can concur with that, that feeling of like. I just said that, wait, I did that years ago. I actually did that. And this person is, you know, they're acting as if it's a first yes, and so I think that that is a generational thing as well, because it's like it reminds me of the joke of like when a younger generation gets married or they have children, they oftentimes feel like they're the first generation raising children, they're the first ones who understand how to be a good parent, they're the first ones that. And then the joke is always like, you know, by the third child, you can watch them. Yeah, it's fine, I don't even know what I'm doing, it's just so the idea of like, okay, I'll humor you, I'll allow you to think that you're the first one because maybe that's the phase you're in, but the reality is is we know it's never the first.  21:03 There's always so many people going through it in so many different ways. It's just who's discovering it, who's observing it and who's reporting on it.  21:12 - Anne (Host) Oh, that's so true, isn't it Like right? It's so funny because you're absolutely right, like we're all just trying to, we all just want to be loved, don't I always say?  21:21 - Intro (Announcement) that, like we all just want to be loved All of us.  21:23 - Anne (Host) As people, we all want to be given the credit that we feel is due to us, and sometimes it's not worth the effort If you've already been there, done that kind of thing. It's not necessarily the effort to bring it up, because sometimes that will look different to different people. Right, it could look catty, and so for me I try to just again. That's one of those it's mental games where you try just to like okay, you know what. I've done, that educated myself on this, and being angry or being bitter certainly doesn't allow me the energy to progress forward from this point on, and so it doesn't make sense to spend the energy on being bitter or being angry but, simply just using that energy to educate myself and move forward Yet again, to make myself the very best version of myself and my business that I can be.  22:17 Yeah time.  22:18 - Lau (Co-host) I really trust time. Time will teach all, time will definitely teach all. And I think that it's hard to generalize because we're also different in different cultures, different generations. But there is one thing I do believe many females have in common, and that's powerful, powerful instinct. And how we treat instinct. Is it real for us? Do we pay attention to it? Do we listen to it? Whether you think of it as a survival mechanism or you think of it as a spiritual guide, I really do feel strongly. It's a compass for us. Oh, gut instinct.  22:51 - Anne (Host) Absolutely. I love my life. I've got instinct, I know.  22:54 - Lau (Co-host) Yes, to know that something is right, something's wrong, something doesn't feel good, something is unsafe. I do believe a lot of female colleagues I have go very wrong when they don't listen to their instinct or they no longer hear the voice.  23:08 - Anne (Host) I think anybody. If they don't listen to their instinct, they don't trust it. Yeah, I mean anybody, certainly Anybody certainly you know what I mean.  23:15 - Lau (Co-host) But there is that built in thing with women. I totally agree. They're always looking out for the cubs. Even if they don't have cubs, you know, your cub may be your client, yeah.  23:25 - Anne (Host) Yeah, absolutely, Absolutely. That's so interesting that you say that because I think I've always in my lifetime I've always run my business and run my personal life by my instincts. I've always trusted it and it's never failed me so over and over again. And I think if you just trust it, just try it. If you're not used to that, try it and see what happens. And ultimately it's kind of like the first time you say no to a client who wants to not pay you what you're worth, right, and you just learn that negotiation tactic where you're like, yeah, that's great, I'm going to pass on this, and you find that you'll have the time to get a client that will pay you what you're worth and so that first no can be so powerful. Very similar to just having that power as an entrepreneur.  24:07 - Lau (Co-host) And isn't it ironic too that we want people to hire us for our voice, for our vocal delivery, but oftentimes we're not willing to listen to our own voice.  24:19 - Anne (Host) Yeah, so true.  24:20 - Lau (Co-host) Isn't that ironic when you think about that. So true.  24:23 - Anne (Host) So wise, very sage law, ooh, we like it Absolutely.  24:29 Good stuff, wow. So yeah, entrepreneurs, bosses, you've got this and we've got you.

*contains SPOILERSDr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP, deep dive on the book and TV series "Lessons in Chemistry," which centers around an Autistic female scientist named Elizabeth Zott (played by Brie Larson) in the 1950s. Elizabeth forms a relationship with another scientist named Calvin Evans, who is also Autistic. Their relationship depicts an "Autistic love story" with themes like info-dumping as an expression of intimacy and negotiating accommodations.“Like we talk about the double empathy problem and why relationships are easier if you are with another autistic person in some ways. That doesn't mean there are no problems or nothing to negotiate.” —AngelaOther notable autistic-coded characters are discussed, like Elizabeth's daughter Madeline—Mad—who is precocious and constantly asks complex questions. The portrayal shows a nurturing environment for an autistic child, contrasting with the gaslighting many autistics experience growing up.“Like I said, that trauma and that gaslighting is so fundamental to like our expectation sensitivity, our need to document things. When you ask us a question like our need to give you 30 reasons why we made the decision we made because we know how badly these things go but they don't have to if you create a more neuro-inclusive family structure and that really happens.” —AngelaThemes of masking, special interests, data collection, and social justice advocacy also come up in portraying authentic Autistic Culture. Changes from the book to the TV adaptation are analyzed. Overall, the podcasters greatly appreciate the attention to detail and accurate depiction of autistic experiences and culture in the series.What is something Culturally Autistic about your romantic relationship?

Avete mai pensato che non c'è un un modo standard per elaborare un lutto? In questo episodio parliamo di come reagiamo quando perdiamo una persona vicina. Spesso, infatti, si pensa che affrontare la morte di qualcuno significhi passare attraverso alcune fasi prestabilite. Ma in realtà ognuno di noi ha un modo e tempi tutti suoi di vivere e processare il dolore, come mostra la protagonista di Lezioni di chimica. (Anche stavolta ci scusiamo per l'audio: Elizabeth Zott non guardarci male). ⚠️ Negli ultimi minuti dell'episodio trovate tre titoli consigliati che ruotano attorno a questo tema (seguiti dai blooper, naturalmente). Stavolta abbiamo parlato di: - Shrinking (Apple TV+) - Kidding (Sky e Now) - Reservation Dogs (Disney+)

Lessons in Chemistry, an Apple TV+ show based on the bestselling book of the same name, is set in the early 1950s and centers around a young woman named Elizabeth Zott, played by Brie Larson. Elizabeth is a chemist and her entire life is consumed by her scientific curiosities. The only thing Elizabeth loves as much as chemistry is cooking because, well, cooking is chemistry!  The show features quite a bit of food, conceptualized, cooked and styled by the show's food consultant, Courtney McBroom — chef, cookbook author and former culinary director at Milk Bar in New York City.  Host Rachel Belle sat down with Courtney to talk about a day–in–the life of her super-cool job on set; how many lasagnas she had to make for the show; and, of course, her last meal.  Get the recipes for dishes featured in the show!

Was sexism in the STEM workplace really as bad as that faced by Elizabeth Zott in Bonnie Garmus' Lessons in Chemistry? Cultural historian Julie Des Jardins leads us through the experiences of women in the workforce in the 20th-century. Let's just say, most women scientists faced a lot of barriers! We also learn about Julie's current work to increase diversity in STEM fields at the Center for Quantum Networks at the University of Arizona. She outlines for us the 21st century challenges for women in science as well as the strategies she is using to create cultural change in STEM fields. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/frontporchbookclub/support

Nostalgia Meets Reality: A Deep Dive into 'Lessons in Chemistry' The Not Old Better Show, Movie, and AppleTV+ Series Review “Children set the table; your mother needs a moment to herself.” Resilience, independence, and overcoming challenges are what Elizabeth Zott is all about! Set in the early 1950s, “Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes. Welcome to the Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast! 

In this laugh out loud funny novel, Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant chemist who just wants to do her research, but it's the 1960s and none of the men in her field quite know what to do with this determined woman, so mostly they attempt to ruin her. Except for Calvin Evans, the renowned but awkward chemist who is as dazzled by her mind as her beauty. He wants to marry her, which she refuses on the basis it will destroy what small career she has been able to carve out for herself. Within a year, Calvin is gone, Elizabeth has had his child, she has been fired, she has become a TV cooking show phenomenon, and she is as far from her dream to be left alone to do chemistry as she possibly could be. And people and one incredibly perceptive dog keep attaching themselves to her. Is chemistry all there is, or might there be more for Elizabeth? Linda and Nancy discuss this book, its zany characters, and sexism in the 1960s. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/frontporchbookclub/support

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your one-stop-shop for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. Following the lead of their Disney sibling Star Wars, Marvel Studios announced on Monday that Loki Season 2 will premiere on Thursday, October 5, at 9 p.m. eastern - giving the show a primetime watching spot for North American audiences. We have to assume this means Disney+ is pleased with the viewership for Ahsoka, which is the first Disney show to experiment with a primetime release. Loki will follow suit, with all episodes dropping on Thursdays at that time. Marvel also released a featurette called “Amazing Loki” highlighted by the following quote from executive producer Kevin R. Wright; "Rest assured, our Loki will be with our Mobius, and they will be dealing with the consequences of this first season.” DC finally released the trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, scheduled to hit theaters on December 20. The almost three-minute long trailer shows us an Arthur Curry, portrayed by Jason Momoa, who has embraced both sides of his life - on land and under the sea. But this bliss is going to be interrupted by Black Manta, played again by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who threatens to destroy Aquaman's life and cause a global meltdown. We'll also see the return of Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, and Temuera Morrison reprising their roles from the first film. The film is directed by James Wan. Donald Glover's Lucasfilm project Lando is now being developed as a film instead of a Disney+ series. Though Solo: A Star Wars Story - where we first saw Glover portray the smuggler - was not a box office or critical success, there was strong response to his young version of Lando Calrissian. We reported in the past that Glover is working on the project with his brother, Stephen, but of course those plans are currently on hold due to the strikes. In an April interview with GQ, Glover indicated that he isn't going to waste time on projects that mean very little to him, but he was quoted as saying “Lando is definitely somebody I'd like to hang out with,” hence his passion for the project. AppleTV+ has released its first trailer for the upcoming limited series Lessons In Chemistry starring Brie Larson. Based on the New York Times bestselling novel, the series will tell the story of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist turned celebrity chef during the 1950s. Though Lessons in Chemistry, written by Bonnie Garmus, is a work of fiction, the novel examines issues of feminism and patriarchy that still resonate today. The series will run for eight episodes from October 13 through November 24 and also stars Rainn Wilson, Lewis Pullman, and Aja Naomi King. A full trailer was released for Percy Jackson and The Olympians, premiering on Disney+ in December. The story will follow Percy Jackson coming to terms with newfound supernatural powers while restoring order to Olympus. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers says that the Writers Guild of America reached out to restart negotiations, and the organization is seeking to schedule the meeting this week. The first trailer for the upcoming Halloween themed Horror-Comedy film Totally Killer has been released. The film stars Kiernan Shipka as the protagonist who accidentally time travels to the 1980s and attempts to stop a series of murders. The Blumhouse and Amazon Studios production hits Prime Video exclusively on October 6. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl(sow-cheel) Gomez, Who played America Chavez, will be one of the contestants competing on season 32 of Dancing With the Stars. Gomez is the first actor from the MCU to compete on the show while also being an active part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Here's our discussion for our August Book of the Month (Cattie's Pick):Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie GarmusAbout the book: 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. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.  --September Book of the Month is Oaky's Pick!Serial Showgirl by Daniel Cargo and Melinda BryceContact us:bookscatssnacks@gmail.comIG: @bookscatspodcastwww.bookscatssnacks.com

Leading a team of chemists as woman in the corporate world of the 60's was unusual. Elizabeth Zott is the unusual main character in the novel “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus. In store for Zott are single motherhood and hosting the countries best-loved cooking show. It's a witty take on mid century feminism.

Bonnie Garmus' debut novel about chemist Elizabeth Zott, co-narrated by Six-Thirty the dog who must be one of the most fabulous anthrpomomorphised animals in a novel continues to be THE book club book of the moment. Found on every bookshops bestseller shelf, impossible to miss in the supermarket or in airport bookshops it sold 220, 000 copies in hardback in the UK and appears beside sunloungers the world over as the perfect holiday read.  What better book to discuss in the first week of August therefore as we all plan our summer reading?I'm delighted to welcome back Kathleen Wenaden, GP and poet from London to discuss this book which I will admit, I raced through, enjoyed but do not love.....Follow Kathleen on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/kathleenwenade1We mentioned the brilliant Oncology Book Club on Twitter, find them here https://twitter.com/BookOncology (you don't need to be an oncologist to join in)

Bonnie Garmus' new novel Lessons In Chemistry has been getting a lot of buzz. Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist but because it's the 1960s she faces sexism in her quest to work as a scientist. So instead she has a cooking show that is wildly popular. Garmus told NPR's Scott Simon that the character of Elizabeth lived in her head for many years before she started writing this novel.

Meet Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry, whose debut book immediately hit the New York Times Bestselling list. Lessons in Chemistry follows the story of chemist Elizabeth Zott, who 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. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ("combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride") proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalwritersseries/message

In this episode, we revisit a conversation we had last year with Bonnie Garmus, author of the best selling book Lessons in Chemistry. The novel follows the life of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist in 1960s America, who leaves her career in science to present a TV cooking show. Garmus talks to Róisín Ingle about her long road to writing success, the excitement of her book becoming an instant bestseller and how her main character Zott came to her one evening after a bad day at the office.

It has sold more than 2 million copies, it has become a favorite book club selection across the country, and it's been named by The New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, and Newsweek as a best book of the year. It's an international hit, too, with translations published in 40 languages. The actor and director Brie Larsen will bring it to the screen in a series on Apple +. Lessons in Chemistry is a feminist manifesto, a wickedly funny social critique, a poignant story of love and loss, and a charming peroration on the meaning and might of families. The protagonist in this compelling novel is Elizabeth Zott, a gifted chemist who navigates the patriarchal universe of the 1950s and 60s with courage, compassion and unwavering aplomb. She is one of several extraordinary characters — including her beloved canine, Six-Thirty — in a comic, touching and moving story told with delicious mastery. Author Bonnie Garmus joined Tom on Zoom from her home in London… Bonnie Garmus will be speaking about "Lessons in Chemistry" and signing the book on May 10, at 7pm, at “Sixth and I” in Washington, DC.

Our Bookshelf episodes are the ones dedicated to the books we're each reading outside of book club, the ones we tend to love because we chose them for ourselves. Laura has been reading the latest from ANIMAL LIFE, the latest novel from podcast favourite, Icelandic author Audur Ava Olafsdottir. A short, quiet novel, but one that struck a chord. She's also been happily working through THE MIRROR VISITOR QUARTET by French author Christelle Dabos. What is it about this epic fantasy series that has her so happily hooked? Kate has been catching up with LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY by Bonnie Garmus, the smash hit that tells of scientist turned tv-cooking show presenter Elizabeth Zott. Also on her stack is I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, by Rebecca Makkai, the New York Times bestseller that has been described as ‘A twisty, immersive whodunit perfect for fans of Donna Tartt's The Secret History.' And for a non-fiction palette cleanser she's been reading Saving Time: Discovering Life Beyond the Clock, by artist and writer Jenny Odell. To read it, fellow time-philosopher Oliver Burkeman comments, ‘'is to experience how freedom might feel'. Listen in for all this plus the current reads and books we can't wait to get to, including SUPER-INFINITE by Katherine Rundell, STONE BLIND by Natalie Haynes and MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY buy Winifred Watson. And just why are Laura's book club struggling with Salman Rushdie's latest, VICTORY CITY? NOTES Whenever you listen to this episode if you have thoughts on it we'd love to hear them.

Today, Abigail brings on a guest who is an avid reader and professional book reviewer—and popular podcast host!—Sarah Dickinson. Together, they take a first chapter deep dive analysis of one of 2022's most popular books (what NYT called the Best Book of the Year!), and one of their favorite reads in 2022: LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY by Bonnie Garmus. This episode is particularly fun since Sarah, as a reader, shares her analysis based on her reaction as a reader, paired with Abigail's editorial viewpoint. Come listen to their analysis as they breakdown big first and second chapter hooks like: How the prologue in disguise might not quite work as a scene with a value change—but absolutely hooks readers and works as an engaging, rich opening Elizabeth Zott, the logical, confident, and depressed chemist/celebrity chef who exemplifies a well-developed character and has inspired countless readers How the first two chapters encapsulate so much of what readers need to know in order to embrace the big picture The smart execution of POV and how sharing multiple perspectives about Elizabeth Zott electrified her character (and the story) A breakdown of the scene structure for chapter two (what we called the official chapter one) What Bonnie Garmus hopes women readers take away from LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, and what she hopes men take away from it Plus, more! Email Abigail with your thoughts or share on social media and tag her. Let's continue the conversation! LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY by Bonnie Garmus (pulled from Amazon) 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. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

Die amerikanische Autorin Bonnie Garmus erzählt in ihrem Debütroman "Eine Frage der Chemie" die Geschichte von Elizabeth Zott, einer Chemikerin in den USA der 1950er Jahre. Von ihren (männlichen) Kollegen wird sie ausgenutzt, gedemütigt und geringgeschätzt, ihr Lebensgefährte, der Star-Chemiker Calvin Evans, kommt bei einem tragischen Unfall ums Leben und Elizabeth, nun arbeitslos, muss alleine den Lebensunterhalt für die gemeinsame Tochter Mad und den Hund Halbsieben stemmen. Durch mehrere Zufälle bekommt sie jedoch die Gelegenheit, die Kochsendung "Essen um sechs" zu moderieren. Sie macht daraus ein kulinarisches Chemielabor mit Anspruch und stößt den (männlichen) Produzenten der Show mit ihrer unnachgiebigen Art und den zahlreichen Innovationen gehörig vor den Kopf. Gleichzeitig begeistert sie Millionen amerikanischer Hausfrauen mit ihrer Botschaft von Selbstbestimmung und Emanzipation. Bonnie Garmus verlagert feministische Themen und Inhalte in ein historisches Setting und erschafft mit Elizabeth Zott eine selbstbewusste, unbequeme und durch und durch witzige Protagonistin. Warum ich zwar bestens unterhalten, aber nicht uneingeschränkt begeistert war, und welche (guten) Gründe es trotzdem gibt, "Eine Frage der Chemie" zu lesen, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge!

Bonnie Garmus' new novel Lessons In Chemistry has been getting a lot of buzz. Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist but because it's the 1960s, she faces sexism in her quest to work as a scientist. So instead she has a cooking show that is wildly popular. Garmus told NPR's Scott Simon that the character of Elizabeth lived in her head for many years before she started writing this novel.

In this achingly tender, funny, clever debut novel set in the 1950s, talented  Elizabeth Zott confronts misogyny and worse as she battles to create a place for herself in the male-dominated world of research chemistry. Things get worse when she falls in love with brilliant fellow scientist Calvin. Here Garmus dsicusses how Betty Friedan's “The Feminine Mystique” inspired her and the joys of creating such an unconventional, empowered protagonist.

What better way to finish off season six of The Merry Menopause Bookclub Podcast than with Bonnie Garmus author of The Sunday Times No 1 Bestseller “Lessons in Chemistry”Bonnie and I connected on Instagram where I was raving about Lessons in Chemistry, It is one of my favourite  reads this year so far and I was delighted Bonnie said yes to being my guest.Lessons In Chemistry is about a woman named Elizabeth Zott, a fictional chemist in late 50s early 60s America. She gets fired from her research job for the crime of being unwed and pregnant and as things get a little tight money wise she accepts a job as a TV cooking show host. Most of us would consider it a job to kill for, but Elizabeth Zott doesn't want the job at all. So instead of teaching straight-up cooking, she ends up teaching the nation chemistry - because cooking is chemistry. And as she does so she ends up teaching women what they are made of at a molecular level and she ends up changing a nation because of it.Join us as we discuss:- Sexual assault in the workplace - 1:6 American women experience it.How the character of Elizabeth Zott came into being.How a bad day at work inspired Bonnie to write the first chapter of Lessons in Chemistry.Bonnie dedicates the book to her incredible mum and I find out why.How the ‘The Average Housewives” of the 50s raised a generation of feminists.Why Elizabeth Zott is a role model for Bonnie and the joy of creating and writing her. Elizabeth Zott's rich backstory - depression and loneliness.How so many men are totally unaware of the misogyny and sexual assault that happens in the workplace.How can we make sure we have allies in men at work and at home.The awareness of women's rights issues that Lessons in Chemistry has raised amongst its male readers.A sneak preview of Bonnie's next book!Bonnie's Book Choices:-The Anthropocene - John GreenThe Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry - Rachel JoyceFind out more about Bonnie and her work hereLearn more about me and my work at www.themerrymenopause.comFollow me on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedINJoin my private Facebook group

You probably won't agree with us when it comes to this book... Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Lessons in Chemistry follows chemist Elizabeth Zott who is fighting for equality in her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute in the 1960s. But when she and Calvin Evans—the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder—fall for each other, their budding romance ends abruptly. So, a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of a chemistry-based cooking show Supper at Six. What happens when Elizabeth Zott not only tries to change the way women view cooking, but also view themselves?  Our Historical Fiction expert, Abby Williams joins me today to talk about why it took us a month to finish this book.

Elizabeth Zott wird Ihr Leben verändern! Elizabeth Zott ist eine Frau mit dem unverkennbaren Auftreten eines Menschen, der nicht durchschnittlich ist und es nie sein wird. Doch es ist 1961, und die Frauen tragen Hemdblusenkleider und treten Gartenvereinen bei. Niemand traut ihnen zu, Chemikerin zu werden. Außer Calvin Evans, dem einsamen, brillanten Nobelpreiskandidaten, der sich ausgerechnet in Elizabeths Verstand verliebt. Aber auch 1961 geht das Leben eigene Wege. Und so findet sich eine alleinerziehende Elizabeth Zott bald in der TV-Show „Essen um sechs“ wieder. Doch für sie ist Kochen Chemie. Und Chemie bedeutet Veränderung der Zustände ... So smart wie „Damengambit“, so amüsant wie „Mrs. Maisel“ Aus dem Englischen von Ulrike Wasel und Klaus Timmermann, dem Übersetzerduo von Delia Owens' "Der Gesang der Flusskrebse" „In Elizabeth Zott verliebt man sich total. Sie ist so toll und natürlich dargestellt, dass ich sie sogar gegoogelt habe: Die muss es doch wirklich geben, habe ich gedacht! Lange habe ich nicht ein so unterhaltendes, witziges und kluges Buch gelesen wie dieses.“ Elke Heidenreich Über die Autorin: Bonnie Garmus war als Kreativdirektorin international vor allem in den Bereichen Medizin, Erziehung und Technologie tätig. Privat bevorzugt sie das Schwimmen im offenen Meer, wobei sie sich darauf konzentrieren muss, nicht darüber nachzudenken, was alles sonst noch unter ihr schwimmt. Gebürtig aus Kalifornien lebte sie lange in Seattle, wo sie sich ausgiebig dem Wettkampfrudern widmete. Sie ist außerdem Mutter zweier erwachsener Töchter und lebt aktuell mit ihrem Mann in London. Dies ist ihr erster Roman.

Widely praised as one of the best books of 2022, LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY is the debut novel about the reluctant host of 1960s cooking show from Bonnie Garmus. Bonnie joins Olivia for the podcast to talk about the sensation of debuting as a bestseller decades after first dreaming of becoming a novelist, and her own frustrating professional moment that sparked the unique character of Elizabeth Zott. LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY is now in production as a limited series for Apple+ starring Brie Larsen, and Bonnie is working on a new novel. For more on the author visit: https://www.bonniegarmus.com/ A Moment With Margaret, other books that touch on reluctant stars: Audrina Patridge's TO THE HILLS & BACK, and ONE TO WATCH from Kate Stayman-London.

Bonnie Garmus talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her debut novel, LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, which has been getting a ton of buzz since it came out in April. It was a “Good Morning America” Book Club selection for April and an instant New York Times bestseller. Bonnie shares that one day she walked away from a meeting, headed to her desk, and banged out the first chapter of the book --- and explains what inspired that. She also talks about Elizabeth Zott being a character in an earlier book draft, where her role was not part of the main storyline, and why she loves writing her. She studied chemistry to write this book and brought on chemist friends to check her work lest the publisher's copywriters needed to brush up on their science skills. She discusses why she wanted to set the book against the timing of the late '50s and '60s. Carol guesses why Bonnie's dog is named 99; Bonnie likes her idea, but that is not the reason. They also explore the rest of the characters, including the amazing dog Six-Thirty.

TW: THIS REVIEW MENTIONS SEXUAL ASSAULT, RAPE, AND GENDER INEQUALITIES Reviewed by The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, Lessons in Chemistry is certainly a book that has gained speed quickly. Set in California in the 1960s, Lessons in Chemistry is the story of Elizabeth Zott. Zott is a female scientist on an all-male research team in a time where women were more often housewives than chemists. Zott is working on an important project when she meets Calvin Evans, an infamous scientist also working for the same research company. While the two seem like an unlikely pair, their time together is much more than romantic chemistry—that is, until Evans suffers from a tragic accident. Left alone with a dog and an unborn child, Elizabeth has to learn to handle motherhood as an unwed mother. Struggling with inequality, the difficulties of her field, and her role to her child, Zott finds herself reluctantly leaving the research facility and starting a cooking show with a fellow parent. Her unusual approach to cooking proves revolutionary and gains her a large following. Yet, as her following grows, so does the implication that women don't just belong in the kitchen. Compared to Where'd You Go, Bernadette and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Lessons in Chemistry is described as witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and must-read debut.

In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I'm talking to Bonnie Garmus about her bestselling debut Lessons in Chemistry. In this episode we discuss how a frustrating meeting at work inspired her trailblazing protagonist Elizabeth Zott, breaking the so-called writing rules and her 98 rejections before her success.

Nach ihrem preisgekrönten Roman «GRM» legt Sibylle Berg den zweiten Teil ihrer Trilogie vor. «RCE - #RemoteCodeExecution» heisst der neue Roman. Zusammen mit dem Spiegelbestseller «Eine Frage der Chemie» von Bonnie Garmus ist er diese Woche Thema am Literaturstammtisch. Sibylle Bergs neuer Roman «RCE - #RemoteCodeExecution» setzt die Geschichte von «GRM» fort. Aus den jugendlichen Computernerds von einst sind erwachsene IT-Spezialisten und Hacker geworden. Wiedervereint wollen sie dem Kapitalismus mit gut ausgeführten «Remote Code Executions» den Stecker ziehen und einen Neustart erzwingen. Annette König fand die Lektüre anregend. Aber auch erschöpfend. «Kochen ist Chemie. Und Chemie ist Leben. Ihre Fähigkeit, alles zu ändern, beginnt hier.» Das sagt die Fernsehköchin Elizabeth Zott in Bonnie Garmus Bestseller «Eine Frage der Chemie». Zu Beginn der 1960er muss sie ihre Karriere als Chemikerin abbrechen, weil sie als Frau und alleinerziehende Mutter die Rollenerwartungen der männerdominierten Wissenschaft nicht erfüllt. So wird sie Fernsehköchin und hat unerwarteten Erfolg, weil sie den Hausfrauen der damaligen Zeit ihr Selbstbewusstsein zurückgibt. Nicola Steiner empfiehlt diesen Pageturner für eine Leseauszeit im Alltag. Buchangaben: Sibylle Berg. RCE - #RemoteCodeExecution. 700 Seiten. Kiepenheuer & Witsch, 2022. Bonnie Garmus.

“And I think it's just overall her humanity and her recognition of what other people could accomplish. If you just say the right things, if you create the right chemistry, that really drove me to her. And she does—she has her own chemistry with everyone in the book.” That's Bonnie Garmus talking about Elizabeth Zott, the unforgettable center of Bonnie's debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry. Bonnie joins us on the show to talk about her spectacular characters, never giving up (and the writing advice that helped her the most when she was stuck), having empathy for all of her characters (even the evil ones), a most extraordinary dog, The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, rowing, what she's reading now, how writing a novel is scarier than open water swimming, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer.

Bonnie Garmus' new novel Lessons In Chemistry has been getting a lot of buzz. Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist but because it's the 1960s she faces sexism in her quest to work as a scientist. So instead she has a cooking show that is wildly popular. Garmus told NPR's Scott Simon that the character of Elizabeth lived in her head for many years before she started writing this novel.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is stunning, beautiful, and inspiring Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3LWLCUz “In Garmus's debut novel, a frustrated chemist finds herself at the helm of a cooking show that sparks a revolution. Welcome to the 1960s, where a woman's arsenal of tools was often limited to the kitchen—and where Elizabeth Zott is hellbent on overturning the status quo one meal at a time.” —New York Times "Strikingly relevant...Darkly funny and poignant...Lessons in Chemistry's excellent experiment [is] quirky and heartwarming." —The Atlantic "[Garmus] delivers an assured voice, an indelible heroine and relatable love stories...At the center of the novel is Elizabeth Zott, a gifted research chemist, absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention...Elizabeth is a feminist and modern thinker […] in a world nowhere ready for her mind, character or ambition...[Garmus] charm[s]. She's created an indelible assemblage of stubborn, idiosyncratic characters. She's given us a comic novel at precisely the moment we crave one.” —Washington Post “Feminism is the catalyst that makes [Lessons in Chemistry] fizz like hydrochloric acid on limestone. Elizabeth Zott does not have ‘moxie'; she has courage. She is not a ‘girl boss' or a ‘lady chemist'; she's a groundbreaker and an expert in abiogenesis...To file Elizabeth Zott among the pink razors of the book world is to miss the sharpness of Garmus's message. Lessons in Chemistry will make you wonder about all the real-life women born ahead of their time—women who were sidelined, ignored and worse because they weren't as resourceful, determined and lucky as Elizabeth Zott. She's a reminder of how far we've come, but also how far we still have to go.” —New York Times Book Review --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Terrific story set in the 1960's about Elizabeth Zott (it's fiction) who's a real force of nature. Her dream of a career in science is thwarted when she's unmarried and pregnant and then given the chance to host a TV cooking show to which she brings all her scientific principles and sets about educating a generation of women (combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride). It's very funny while making some serious points about women's place in the world. Grand by Noelle McCarthy. She's an Irish born New Zealand broadcaster and this is her memoir of her relationship with her mother and alcohol. It's superbly written and incredibly brave. Steve Braunias at Newsroom is calling it the best book of the year so far, but also reckons it will still be that by the end of the year. 

Female representation in the sciences is getting better. It's still not good enough, but we have come a long way. Set in the 1960s, Lessons In Chemistry is a novel which serves to remind us of just how far we've come, by recognising the struggles of the not too distant past. Bonnie Garmus' debut novel tells the tale of chemist Elizabeth Zott, an unconventional heroine on a mission to upend the status quo. The book's not out till the 5th of April, and it's already being turned into a TV series. It's that good. In this episode we discover how anger can be a useful tool for a writer, if you learn how to channel it. We learn that a successful novel is often all in the rewrite. And we learn to challenge conventional assumptions about what is ‘possible'.  Your host is inkjockey founder Mark Heywood.
