Items related to Rosalind Franklin and DNA
Rosalind Franklin was one of the four scientists whose work was most responsible for that supreme moment when the key to heredity in all living things was discovered--the molecular structure of DNA. She died not long after, her life cut short at the age of thirty-seven. When the Nobel Prizes were given out for that discovery and when the book "The Double Helix" was written by James Watson, one of the Nobel scientists involved, Rosalind Franklin's work was minimized and her character distorted in the public eye. Watson did so, in the author's opinion, because it was convenient for him to maintain that a woman who is a good scientist must be abnormal as a woman. . . This book was undertaken to set the record straight. . .
