I really enjoyed this novel about a 1950s woman chemist who struggled against misogyny and bigotry in her education and career. She is a feminist well ahead of her time, and when she meets her soul mate she refuses to get married. I don't want to give anything away, but she ends up as a single mom who takes an alternative but highly successful career as a television chef who teaches cooking through the science of chemistry. This book has a lot of wit and charm, with a precocious child and a highly intelligent dog.
