Marie Benedict's powerful new novel shines a light on a woman who sacrificed her life to discover the nature of our very DNA, a woman whose world-changing contributions were hidden by the men around her but whose relentless drive advanced our understanding of humankind.
"Marie Benedict brings human warmth and in-depth science to a novel on the life of Rosalind Franklin... Benedict is terrific at showing how male exclusivity operates and has researched the science in magnificent depth... A humanly as well as scientifically engaging read."
—Financial Times "Marie Benedict has given us an immense gift: a peek into the inner world of Rosalind Franklin, one of the most brilliant—and overlooked—scientist of her time… This is Benedict’s best work yet, a book that will break your heart, rattle your expectations, and ultimately leave you stunned by the sacrifices one woman made for science."
—Nathalia Holt, New York Times bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket Girls |
