Rosalind

  • Format:

Societies are oiled with the unpaid, unaccounted for, work of women. It is the very glue that binds us together, and yet we are blind to it; a woman's work remains invisible. \n\nRosalind Franklin knows that to be a woman in a man's world is to be invisible. In the 1950s science is a gentleman's profession, and it appears after WWII that there are plenty of colleagues who want to keep it that way. \n\nAfter being segregated at Cambridge, then ignored and put down in the workplace, she has no intention of being seen as a second-class citizen and throws everything into proving her worth. But despite her success in unlocking the very secret of life, the ultimate glory is claimed by the men she left in her wake. \n\nInspired by the true story of a woman so many tried to silence, Rosalind is a tale of hope and perseverance, love and betrayal ... of real-life lessons in chemistry.
