Contents Notes |
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. Once in Royal David's City -- 'Alarmingly clever' -- Once a Paulina -- Never surrender -- Holes in coal -- Woman of the Left Bank -- Seine v. Strand -- What is life? -- Joining the circus -- Such a funny lab -- Undeclared race -- Eureka and goodbye -- Escaping notice -- Acid next door -- O my America -- New friends, new enemies -- Postponed departure -- Private health, public health -- Clarity and perfection -- Epilogue; life after death. |
