![]() ![]() ![]() What readers of The Double Helix might not know is that Watson was very much aware of the implications of his portrayal of Franklin. Maddox dismisses as "pious" and "faint praise" Watson's later apologetic epilogue, where he limply describes Franklin as a "fine scientist," and how "as a young man, he had not appreciated the difficulties of a woman making her way in a man's world of science." ![]() Maddox, in the newest contribution to this saga, describes Watson's characterization of Franklin as, "the termagant who hoarded data she could not comprehend, treated men like naughty little boys and wore dresses even dowdier than those of the average English-woman," and that is the unavoidable image of Franklin readers of The Double Helix remember. The latter three received a Nobel Prize for their discovery in 1962. ![]() Franklin was, of course, one of the four principal actors in that discovery, along with Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The central issue in this life of Franklin and in how history remembers her role in the discovery of DNA is Watson's memorable but flagrantly disrespectful and dishonest characterization of her. Was Nobel laureate James D Watson fully aware that his The Double Helix, the now classic account of the discovery of DNA, would one day explode in his face? In the riveting epilogue to her recent biography of Rosalind Franklin, The Dark Lady of DNA, Brenda Maddox revisits the genesis of Watson's famous book.
