Possible spoilers.... On the cusp of womens equal rights movements Elizabeth Zogt is no stranger to discrimination. Going against the grain of societal norms. She is a strong and independent woman, Elizabeth Zott will not conform. . . . . . . Crushing sexism barriers Elizabeth Zott not only exemplifies perseverance and determination she will be damned if she allows a man to tell her what role she is supposed to fulfill. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel with the exception of 6:30 having a point of view. While I enjoy having a smart and savvy animal. I feel that a view point was a bit extra and not needed for this novel. This is just my subjective opinion.

What a fun read! It does take some willing suspension of disbelief, but it's a nice fantasy to think of having a superheroine like Elizabeth Zott to put men in their place back in the '50s and '60s.
