Rosalind Franklin was a Jewish scientist with a remarkable talent as a chemist. Although there were few women working in this field in the 1950s, Franklin, using crystallography, captured an image that held the secret to unlocking the structure of DNA: the double helix.

This incredible story uncovers the life and work of an extraordinary scientist, rightfully celebrating her landmark contributions to history.
