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 ⬇️
mhillis I had been looking for a nonfiction book about Franklin, but this novel included enough scientific information for me. I remember learning about Watson and Crick in school but I don‘t think Franklin was mentioned, so I‘m glad I could learn more about her discoveries! 4d
