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，没有出现在讲台上的是罗莎琳德富兰克林，他的DNA X射线照片直接有助于双螺旋的发现。富兰克林的英年早逝，加上男性科学机构对女性的歧视，使她成为女权主义者的偶像。这个神话掩盖了她作为科学家和个人的智力和独立性。
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.
