10: 'Chemistry is change!'

Elizabeth Zott’s cooking revolution reaches its peak, and she makes an unexpected return to her beloved chemistry, in the final part of Bonnie Garmus' comic bestseller.

Bonnie Garmus' comic bestseller featuring the gloriously idiosyncratic feminist icon, Elizabeth Zott.

It's the early 1960s and Zott's all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take 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.

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 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.

Today: Elizabeth Zott’s cooking revolution reaches its peak, and she makes an unexpected return to her beloved chemistry…
