In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins received the Nobel prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA. Notably absent from the podium was Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray photographs of DNA contributed directly to the discovery of the double helix. Franklin's premature death, combined with misogynist treatment by the male scientific establishment, cast her as a feminist icon. This myth overshadowed her intellectual strength and independence both as a scientist and as an individual.
1962年，詹姆斯·沃森、弗朗西斯·克里克和莫里斯·威尔金斯因发现DNA结构而获得诺贝尔奖。值得注意的是，站在领奖台上的没有罗莎琳德·富兰克林，她拍摄的DNA的X射线照片对双螺旋结构的发现有直接贡献。富兰克林过早离世，再加上男性科学界的厌女症式对待，使她成为了女权主义的象征。这个神话掩盖了她作为科学家和个人的智慧力量与独立性。
