Start with Emmy Northern. And then go look up rejectedprincesses.com.

Franklin was an absolutely brilliant experimentalist but this common take seems unfair. Her contributions were in fact acknowledged early on -- Watson was the first to suggest she should have shared in the Nobel and she became close with Crick. But her bosses at MRC were frustrated because she refused to model, and in fact she even made fun of Wilkins for proposing a helical structure. Her data were essential, she was brilliant, and I can't imagine the prejudice against women...

@yona may the three involved in the theft be forgotten and Rosalind be remembered

And then she also contributed much to what we know about viruses. #Franklin #hero

Marthe Gautier for one...

Barbara McClintock with jumping genes needs more prominence … IMHO

Knowing it's a helix is not the same as understanding the double-helix structure. In fact, I believe Linus Pauling beat Crick and Watson to publication with a paper incorrectly showing it to be a triple helix. This article lacks clarity a bit.
