Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women
who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including Rosalind
Franklin!
Rosalind Franklin loved science, but when she was young, there weren't
many woman scientists. Still, she persisted in pursuing her dreams,
becoming a scientist and playing a key role in the discovery of the
double-helix structure of DNA (what we're all made up of). Though her
male colleagues took credit for her work at the time, we now know just
how important her discoveries were to figuring out what our DNA looks
like and how it works!
In this chapter book biography by bestselling and award-winning author
Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, readers learn about the amazing life of
Rosalind Franklin--and how she persisted.
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white
illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in
Rosalind Franklin's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice
for kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring
women into their curriculum.
And don't miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series,
featuring so many more women who persisted, including Sally Ride, Temple
Grandin, and more!
