The novel addresses the challenges faced by women in the 1960s, particularly in male-dominated fields like science, through the story of Elizabeth Zott, who confronts systemic sexism and discrimination that reflect broader societal issues of class and gender inequality. Education emerges as a crucial tool for empowerment, illustrating how knowledge can defy societal norms and enhance one's socio-economic status. The novel subtly critiques capitalist structures that restrict women's roles and opportunities, portraying Elizabeth's struggles against societal expectations as a challenge to the patriarchal norms of her time. Ultimately, the narrative explores personal and professional conflicts within a larger context of class struggles, highlighting the determination of women striving for equality.
