More like Lessons in Feminism, and I mean that as a compliment. I did not learn anything about chemistry though.
This starts a little rocky, with Brie Larson's Elizabeth giving major Big Bang Theory Sheldon vibes, but that balances out. This series often made me mad in an F the Patriarchy way, the kind that empowers you to enroll in medical school or start rowing.
