About this audiobook

Rosalind Franklin, the brilliant scientist whose work was instrumental in the discovery of DNA’s double helix structure, is finally gaining recognition for her contributions to science. Born in 1920 in London, Franklin excelled in chemistry and X-ray crystallography, fields that would lead her to unravel the structure of DNA. This biography explores her academic journey, her critical yet often overlooked contributions to the DNA model, and her pioneering work on viruses. Franklin’s determination to succeed in a male-dominated field and her untimely death at the age of 37 add poignancy to her story. This book celebrates her legacy as a trailblazer whose work has had a profound impact on genetics, biology, and medicine, inspiring generations of women in science.
