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..
But what unfolds next, Rosalind could have never predicted.
Then it finally happens--the double helix structure of DNA reveals itself to her with perfect clarity.
Never again will she have to listen to her colleagues complain about her, especially Maurice Wilkins who\'d rather conspire about genetics with James Watson and Francis Crick than work alongside her.
Rosalind knows if she just takes one more X-ray picture--one more after thousands--she can unlock the building blocks of life.
When she is assigned to work on DNA, she believes she can unearth its secrets.
Whether working at the laboratory she adored in Paris or toiling at a university in London, she feels closest to the science, those unchanging laws of physics and chemistry that guide her experiments.
Christie and The Only Woman in the Room ! Rosalind Franklin has always been an outsider--brilliant, but different.
