                                        In 1952, Rosalind Franklin captured Photo 51, the X-ray image that revealed DNA’s double helix structure—the blueprint of life itself. Without her meticulous work, Watson and Crick would never have pieced together their Nobel-winning model. Her precision and brilliance quietly laid the foundation for modern genetics and medicine.
But her contribution was taken without permission, and while others were celebrated, Franklin was forgotten. She died at just 37, never knowing the true impact of her discovery. Today, she is rightly remembered as the unsung hero of DNA, a scientist whose brilliance reshaped biology and whose legacy is finally shining through history’s shadows. Her story is a reminder of how vital it is to give credit where it’s due, especially to women in science who paved the way against all odds.
