Set in the 1940s and 1950s, this graphic novel introduces young readers to Rosalind Franklin, a pioneering British chemist who made significant contributions to science during a time when women were largely excluded from the field. Highlighting her research on coal, carbon, and viruses, the story emphasizes her pivotal role in capturing "Photo 51," which was crucial to unlocking the structure of DNA. Despite her groundbreaking achievements, Franklin's contributions went unrecognized during her lifetime, making her story both inspiring and poignant.
