Lab Girl by Hope Jahren
I know I talk about Lab Girl a lot, but I just adore this memoir by botanist Hope Jahren. Her writing is like a meditation on plants. Jahren brings so much of herself to the page as she describes how her life has been influenced by her work in her scientific field studying and cataloging plants. She also shares what it’s been like for her, as a woman, to work in a male-dominated field. And the prose of this book is incredible, making it a joy to read.
