Lessons in Chemistry is a novel by Bonnie Garmus. Published by Doubleday in April , it is Garmus's debut novel. It tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, who becomes a beloved cooking show host in s Southern California after being fired as a chemist four years earlier. Garmus told People magazine that she wrote Lessons in Chemistry after her previous novel was rejected by 98 publishers because it was "too long". The book was inspired by Garmus's experience as a creative director in an advertising agency, in particular after a frustrating meeting where a male co-worker took credit for one of her ideas. After being sexually assaulted and refusing to apologize for stabbing her rapist, Elizabeth Zott is expelled from her doctoral program. She then gets a job at Hastings Research Institute, working as a chemist. She meets fellow Hastings researcher Calvin Evans while taking surplus beakers from his lab. Evans assumes that she is a secretary and ignores her. They later encounter each other at a theater, and Calvin, experiencing an allergic reaction to a partygoer's perfume, vomits on Zott. They start dating and living together shortly after. Evans proposes in the staff dining room, but Zott rejects him, citing concerns that as her husband Evans would be given credit for all of her work. A month later, Zott adopts an abandoned explosive detection dog and names him Six-Thirty. Evans convinces Zott to take up rowing, and Zott starts teaching her dog English. Due to a local law, Zott buys a leash for Six-Thirty.
