About
A graphic novel for children ages 7 to 10. Rosalind Franklin was a British chemist during the 1940s and 1950s, when few women worked in the sciences. During WWII, she expanded our knowledge of the physics of coal and carbon, and later she studied viruses. Her "Photo 51" was central to understanding the double-helix structure of DNA, groundbreaking work she was never given credit for in her lifetime. This is her story.

"Rosalind Franklin made many breakthroughs in science, but her biggest feat was 'helping to solve a huge mystery' says this graphic novel version of her life, when, in 1952, 'she took an X-ray photo that revealed the true structure of DNA.'
The book describes neatly and effectively how much Franklin loved the study of science, as well as just how many battles she faced as a woman in the early 20t
