Well deserved five stars because this book was simply chef's kiss. 
Here we have a book that describes women's struggles and pain, the inherent misogyny of society, and does so amazingly, presenting women's active and current (because it might be a different decade, but this is still a problem, albeit in a different form) challenges: down-playing our struggles and feelings, denigrating us, pretending our thoughts and efforts are important while bad-mouthing us right after, directly attacking, because they want and can. 
This book shows it clearly, but it also shows us that women are capable of so much more. That even tho society's expectations exists, we are not defined by them. We are intelligent, resilient, strong. Elizabeth Zott is the very epitome of that.
