"This . . . chapter book biography chronicles the . . . life of Rosalind Franklin, a scientist who played a key role in the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA"--Provided by publisher.

"A picture book biography about scientist Rosalind Franklin and her contributions to molecular biology, discovery of the DNA double helix, and study of viruses"--Provided by the publisher.

"Biologist James Watson and physicist Francis Crick's 1953 revelation about the double helix structure of DNA is the foundation of virtually every advance in our modern understanding of genetics and molecular biology. But how did Watson and Crick do it--and why were they the ones who succeeded? In truth, the discovery of DNA's structure is the story of a race among five scientists for advancement, fame, and immortality: Watson, Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus Pauling"--Provided by publisher.

"Rosalind Franklin knows if she just takes one more X-ray picture--one more after thousands--she can unlock the building blocks of life. Never again will she have to listen to her colleagues complain about her, especially Maurice Wilkins who'd rather conspire about genetics with James Watson and Francis Crick than work alongside her. Then it finally happens--the double helix structure of DNA reveals itself to her with perfect clarity. But what happens next, Rosalind could have never predicted. Marie Benedict . . . shines a light on a woman who died to discover our very DNA, a woman whose contributions were suppressed by the men around her but whose relentless drive advanced our understanding of humankind"--Provided by publisher.

Recounts the life and career of X-ray crystallography expert Rosalind Franklin, who through her work in photographing complex biomolecules revealed for the first time the structure of coal and carbon molecules, viruses, and human DNA.

A biography of one of the four scientists responsible for the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, the key to heredity in all living things.

Chronicles Rosalind Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA, discussing how her contributions were downplayed by her colleagues, who received the Nobel Prize for the discovery, despite the fact Franklin did the most crucial part of the research.
