Lessons in Chemistry The modern classic multi-million-copy bestseller

Amazing book about the sad reality of women in male dominated fields.

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

I am so glad I finally read this book. Elizabeth's story was fascinating. The writing was very good... I literally got so mad whenever something sexist happened to her and just so you know, it happened a lot. I loved Elizabeth's, Madeline's and Six Thirty's relationship and especially the ending had me crying so many happy tears. She finally got the job she deserved and I couldn't have been happier about that. This book was a perfect portrayal of the sad reality of women in male dominated fields in the 50s. The way that she was able to reach so many other women and help them realize what they were able to do was just amazing. "...she only ever seemed to bring out the worst in men. They either wanted to control her, touch her, dominate her, silence her, correct her, or tell her what to do. She didn't understand why they couldn't just treat her as a fellow human being, as a colleague, a friend, an equal."
