She was an English Chemist who made very important contributions to the discovery of the DNA structure. She studied the Natural Sciences Tripos at Newnham College and she graduated in 1941.

I like her because I think that she was a very strong woman and an excellent scientist, without this picture that she got Watson and Crick would'not have created their model and all the things ...
