Description

Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including Rosalind Franklin!

Rosalind Franklin loved science, but when she was young, there weren't many woman scientists. Still, she persisted in pursuing her dreams, becoming a scientist and playing a key role in the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA (what we're all made up of). Though her male colleagues took credit for her work at the time, we now know just how important her discoveries were to figuring out what our DNA looks like and how it works!

In this chapter book biography by bestselling and award-winning author Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, readers learn about the amazing life of Rosalind Franklin--and how she persisted. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Rosalind Franklin's footsteps and make a difference! And don't miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series, featuring so many more women who persisted, including Sally RideTemple Grandin, and more!

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley grew up horse-obsessed in a tragically non-horsey place and family. When she was eighteen and went to college, she took the reins in her own hands and hasn't stopped riding since. Kim foxhunted, competed at mid-amateur levels of eventing, and was the longtime \"Boss Mare\" of the Holston Pony Club for kids in her Tennessee hometown—a big part of her inspiration for this series—all while she was busy writing Newbery Honor-winning novels like The War That Saved My Life and Fighting Words. Kim is a fierce advocate for horses and the value of the human-horse connection. She lives on a fifty-two-acre farm in Bristol, Tennessee.


Kimberly Brubaker Bradley creció obsesionada con los caballos en un lugar y una familia trágicamente ajenos a ellos. Cuando tenía dieciocho años y fue a la universidad, tomó las riendas en sus propias manos y no ha dejado de montar desde entonces. Kim practicó la caza del zorro, compitió en niveles de concurso completo para aficionados y fue durante mucho tiempo la \"Yegua Jefa\" del Holston Pony Club para niños en su ciudad natal de Tennessee, una gran parte de su inspiración para esta serie, todo mientras estaba ocupada escribiendo novelas ganadoras del Honor Newbery como La guerra que me salvó la vida y Fighting Words. Kim es una defensora acérrima de los caballos y del valor de la conexión entre humanos y caballos. Vive en una granja de cincuenta y dos acres en Bristol, Tennessee.
