From the publisher:

Set in 1960s California, Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, she would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the 1960s and despite the fact that she is a scientist, her peers are very unscientific when it comes to equality. The only good thing to happen to her on the road to professional fulfillment is a run-in with her super-star colleague Calvin Evans. The only man who ever treated her-and her ideas-as equal, Calvin is already a legend and Nobel nominee. Theirs is true chemistry. But three years later, Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother and the star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking and independent example are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how to change the status quo.
