Little Rosalind was born in London to a Jewish family who valued education and public service, and as she grew up her huge intellectual abilities were drawn into the study of science. Having studied physics and chemistry at Cambridge University, Rosalind moved to Paris to perfect her life’s work in X-ray crystallography. She then moved back to King’s College London, where she would work on  finding the structure of DNA  with Maurice Wilkins. It was Rosalind’s “photo 51” that was used by Wilkins to create the  first ever double helix DNA model  with Francis Crick, although he did not credit for her work due to a falling out between the two, and her work went unacknowledged until after her death. However, today she is revered as the  forgotten heroine of the study of how DNA works,  and the  “Sylvia Plath of molecular biology”. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and  extra facts at the back , including a  biographical timeline  with historical photos and a detailed profile of the brilliant scientist’s life.
