Rosalind Franklin

A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Women in History)

By: Hourly History

Narrated by: Matthew J. Chandler-Smith

Rosalind Franklin was what can only be called an overlooked genius. Although she was not fully credited for the feat at the time, her work led to major breakthroughs in our understanding of DNA. In fact, she took the first X-ray photo of DNA in all of its double helix glory. By the time her former colleagues were being showered with accolades for results they made at least partially based on her findings, Franklin would not be around to see it. Sadly, it’s believed that her use of X-ray equipment gave her terminal cancer, cutting her life short at age 37.

Rosalind Franklin has only recently received widespread attention for her achievements. This book follows the life story of this often-unsung hero of modern-day science.
