Rosalind Franklin and DNA / Anne Sayre.

Sayre, Anne. (Author).

Summary:

Rosalind Franklin's research was central to the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of DNA's double-helix structure. Known only as the bossy, unfeminine "Rosy" in James Watson's The Double Helix, Franklin never received the credit she was due during her lifetime. In this classic work, the author sets the record straight.
