It starts slow, with an extensive exploration of Franklin's family - parents, grandparents, uncles, their status, etc. Thoroughly researched, this seems as an authoritative account of Franklin's life as one is likely to get. Yet before reading this book, I knew only the barest facts about her: that she was gifted at x-ray crystallography, that Watson & Crick's DNA model would have been impossible (or really, terribly inaccurate) without her, and that her results were used by them in a questionable and poorly acknowledged manner. When asked to name women in science, Rosalind Franklin is always high on my list.
