Synopsis

In March 1953, Rosalind Franklin's crucial, unpublished DNA data was seen by her competitors, Watson and Crick, leading to their groundbreaking discovery of DNA's structure. Despite her significant contributions, Franklin's part was largely forgotten, especially after her untimely death at 37 from ovarian cancer. This biography, based on unique access to Franklin's personal correspondence and interviews with key scientists, aims to shed light on her life and scientific legacy.
