In fact\, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans\, the lonely\, brilliant\, Nobel–prize–nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.  \nBut like science\, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother\, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows\, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out\, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.   \nLaugh-out-loud funny\, shrewdly observant\, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters\, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist. \nRegistration opens February 1st. \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. \nOur book discussion group meets for three sessions.

Fifteen years old\, gawky\, egotistical\, and recently orphaned\, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage\, this very modern\, twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. They are soon called to Wales to help Scotland Yard find the kidnapped daughter of an American senator\, a case of international significance with clues that dip deep into Holmes’s past. Full of brilliant deduction\, disguises\, and danger\, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice\, the first book of the Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes mysteries\, is “remarkably beguiling” (The Boston Globe). \nRegistration opens January 1st. \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. \nOur book discussion group meets for three sessions.

These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May\, her husband fell ill\, her son stopped attending school\, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time\, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. \nA moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature\, mythology\, and the natural world\, May’s story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation\, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath\, swimming in icy waters\, and sailing arctic seas. \nUltimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat\, joy in the hushed beauty of winter\, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical\, not linear. A secular mystic\, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season. \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. \nOur book discussion group meets for three sessions.
