Just finished one of the best books I've read in a long time: "Lessons In Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus.

It's the story of a woman chemist who has to deal with misogyny, sexism and general unfairness due to her gender in the late 1950's, and who gets fired for getting pregnant and nto being married. By accident and chance she ends up hosting a cooking TV show where she applies her knowledge of chemistry and the show becomes a hit.

This book portrays a strong woman who is unashamed to be an atheist who had a child out of wedlock and dares not to put limits on her daughter... or even her dog.

It's an excellent read. I read an audio version which had an interview with the author at the end which really, for me, completed the message(s) of the book.

The book was a recommendation from a show on NPR, although I can't recall which show prompted me to add it to my "to read" list, as it has been a while back, and in the mean time I have been reading 2-3 books a day... and it has been at least a couple of weeks since I heard the recommendation.
