In book how was Rosalind Frankiln depicted?
Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the DNA double helix were downplayed in the book "The Double Helix" by James D. Watson. Watson presented himself and Francis Crick as the primary architects of the discovery, while minimizing Franklin's role and expertise in X-ray crystallography, which provided crucial data for their work. The portrayal of Franklin in the book was widely criticized for its sexist and dismissive tone, failing to acknowledge her significant contributions and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field.
