"Rosalind Franklin knows if she just takes one more X-ray picture--one more after thousands--she can unlock the building blocks of life. Never again will she have to listen to her colleagues complain about her, especially Maurice Wilkins who'd rather conspire about genetics with James Watson and Francis Crick than work alongside her. Then it finally happens--the double helix structure of DNA reveals itself to her with perfect clarity. But what happens next, Rosalind could have never predicted. Marie Benedict's next powerful novel shines a light on a woman who died to discover our very DNA, a woman whose contributions were suppressed by the men around her but whose relentless drive advanced our understanding of humankind"-- Provided by publisher.

Okay submitted by russelan on June 20, 2022, 8:41pm I enjoyed learning more about Rosalind Franklin, although her story is incredibly frustrating and sad. Sometimes the writing felt really formal and stilted. When I went to look into something on Wikipedia, I was surprised how much of the detail in this book was right on Rosalind Franklin's Wikipedia page.
