'Men and women are both human beings. And as humans, we're by-products of our up-bringings, victims of our lacklustre educational systems, and choosers of our behaviours. In short, the reduction of women to something less than men, and the elevation of men to something more than women, is not biological: it's cultural. And it starts with two words: pink and blue. Everything skyrockets out of control from there.'
For our fifth book of the year I recommend Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. This is a story about resilience, love, and the quiet, stubborn power of being yourself in a world that insists you conform. The protagonist teaches us lessons far beyond chemistry as she refuses to let society dictate her worth and beat her down. Here is the worksheet.
