Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA by Brenda Maddox

adventurous funny informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

Wow what a book!! Such a fascinating interpretation of Rosalind Franklin’s life. I found the way the DNA story was set amongst  her life and other scientific works! Her attitude to life was fascinating and inspiring for someone wanting to pursue scientific research. The subtle feminist angle and the backdrop of antisemitism and WW2 made for a fascinating read and seemed essential for understanding  ‘the dark lady of DNA’
