Description

Rosalind Franklin's groundbreaking research played a pivotal role in the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure. Yet, during her lifetime, she was often overlooked for the recognition she deserved. This book sets the record straight, shedding light on Franklin's remarkable story.

Anne Sayre's biography offers a nuanced and balanced portrayal of Franklin's life and work, challenging the conventional narrative that has long surrounded her legacy. By exploring Franklin's contributions to science and her struggles with sexism in the male-dominated field, Sayre provides a fresh perspective on this fascinating figure.

This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of one of the most significant scientific discoveries of the 20th century, and a testament to the enduring power of human curiosity and determination.
