Das verborgene Genie

Marie Benedict is dedicated to another clever woman who has had a decisive influence on world history and yet whose name we do not know. After years of research, Rosalind Franklin discovered the double helix structure of our DNA, but three men were wrongly honoured for this coup.Rosalind Franklin has always been an outsider - brilliant, but different. She feels closest to science, to the immutable laws of physics and chemistry that guide her experiments. Tasked with unravelling the mystery of our DNA, Rosalind knows that if she takes just one more X-ray - one more after thousands - she can unravel the building blocks of life. Never again will she have to listen to the complaints of her colleagues, especially those of Maurice Wilkins, who would rather conspire with James Watson and Francis Crick on genetics than work with her.then the time has finally come - the double helix structure of DNA is revealed to her in perfect clarity. But Rosalind could never have foreseen what follows.
