From the Publisher:
In 1962, Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick, and James Watson received the Nobel Prize, but it was Rosalind Franklin's data and photographs of DNA that led to their discovery. Brenda Maddox tells a powerful story of a remarkably single-minded, forthright, and tempestuous young woman who, at the age of fifteen, decided she was going to be a scientist, but who was airbrushed out of the greatest scientific discovery of the twentieth century. |
Annotation:
A biography of chemist and x-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin. Franklin is perhaps best known for her x-ray photographs of a hydrated form of DNA which were a vital contribution to the understanding the double-helix structure of DNA. Illustrated with b&w photographs.
