History has a troubling habit of overlooking the contributions of brilliant women in science. While Watson and Crick are household names synonymous with the discovery of DNA's structure, the woman whose meticulous work made their breakthrough possible remains largely unknown to the general public. Rosalind Franklin, a British chemist and X-ray crystallographer, provided the crucial evidence that unlocked one of biology's greatest mysteries, yet her contributions were overlooked during her lifetime and for decades after her death.
