This book was not what I expected. I think it is amazing but the reviews stating it is funny are categorically wrong. It feels like a true story of the real struggle women have historically faced and continue to experience in 2025. I love Elizabeth Zott and found her character to be so inspiring, I was cheering for her success throughout the entire book. Wishing more people would read this book who need to understand the very real sexism that exists both past and present.
