Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA (repost)

Brenda Maddox, "Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA"
2002 | ISBN: 0060985089 | MOBI | 416 pages | 3 MB

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.
