Rosalind Franklin’s biography

Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA

Brenda Maddox, Harper Collins, 2003

This biography of Rosalind Franklin seeks to dispel some of the misinformation about Franklin provided in James Watson’s 1968 autobiography. Franklin’s story serves as an example of how brilliant female scientists can be marginalized and ignored because of internal politics and social factors.

The book is available at UW Libraries and the Seattle Public Library. See the Amazon product page for numerous reviews.
