Starting another #BookSpinBingo read

Her Hidden Genius is about the life and work of Rosalind Franklin whose work was instrumental in discovering the structure of DNA. She faced many obstacles as a woman in science and this fictionalized account of her life includes not only her difficulties with colleagues in the lab but also her parents, who struggled to comprehend her passion for research. Yet she remained committed to her work despite everything ⬇️

Not my favourite Benedict but I think the one about the woman I knew the least about going in. It's quite a sad tale, but typical for women of her time.

May‘s #BookSpin, which I did finish in May but am horribly behind on reviews.

Marie Benedict did a fantastic job highlighting the importent discoveries of Rosalind Franklin. Anne Sayer‘s biography is so important as well. It‘s an injustice that her book doesn‘t come in an ebook or audiobook form, but Watson‘s skewed The Double Helix does. More need access to Anne‘s biography.
