欢迎来到《小人物，大梦想》畅销儿童传记系列。在《罗莎琳德·富兰克林》这本书中，您将发了解科学家罗莎琳德·富兰克林（Rosalind Franklin）的一生，她为发现DNA双螺旋结构提供了重要线索。

小罗莎琳德出生于英国伦敦的一个犹太家庭，她的家人非常重视教育和公共服务。罗莎琳德长大后就投入了科学研究。

从剑桥大学物理化学专业毕业后，罗莎琳德来到了巴黎，从事她一生的X射线晶体学工作。后来她回到英国，在伦敦国王学院与莫里斯·威尔金斯（Maurice Wilkins）一起致力于寻找DNA的结构。

根据罗莎琳德的“照片51号”，威尔金斯与弗朗西斯·克里克（Francis Crick）创建了有史以来**个双螺旋DNA模型。然而，由于威尔金斯与罗莎琳德两人不和，威尔金斯没有将此发现归功于她，而直到她死后，她的贡献才受到肯定。

然而，今天她被尊称为研究DNA如何工作的被遗忘的女英雄，以及“分子生物学的西尔维亚·普拉斯”"。

本书以时尚古怪的插图为特色，末尾还有附历史照片的传记性时间线和这位出色科学家的详细生活简介。

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-

copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Rosalind Franklin, the scientist who was crucial to the discovery of the double helix in DNA.

Little Rosalind was born in London to a Jewish family who valued education and public service, and as she grew up her huge intellectual abilities were drawn into the study of science.

Having studied physics and chemistry at Cambridge University, Rosalind moved to Paris to perfect her life’s work in X-

ray crystallography. She then moved back to King’s College London, where she would work on finding the structure of DNA with Maurice Wilkins.

It was Rosalind’s “photo 51” that was used by Wilkins to create the first ever double helix DNA model with Francis Crick, although he did not credit for her work due to a falling out between the two, and her work went unacknowledged until after her death.

However, today she is revered as the forgotten heroine of the study of how DNA works, and the “Sylvia Plath of molecular biology”.

This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the brilliant scientist’s life.
