Her Hidden Genius
by Marie Benedict
Her Hidden Genius by Marie Benedict ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
One of the first things that drew me to Marie Benedict was the fact that she is a local author of Pittsburgh. I read her book the Personal Librarian and was positively in love with it. (I have a review for it, too!) When I found out that one of my favorite local bookstores was going to be doing a meet the author event featuring her while she talked about her new book, Her Hidden Genius, I couldn’t wait! I picked up a copy that evening and read it just a few days later, in two days!
Her Hidden Genius follows the life of Rosalind Franklin, a scientist who played a crucial role in discovering the double-helix structure of DNA, though she hardly gets the credit that is due. She is also largely responsible for her work with rNA, which has helped us develop and create vaccines. You’ll follow her life from the time she arrives in the lab until her time on this Earth is cut short.
One of the many incredible things about Marie Benedict is while although she writes “historical fiction” most of the important facts and details of the story are 100% nonfiction. Then, she adds lib with conversations or how she thinks the individual may have been feeling, which makes it a work of fiction. It’s an incredible way to read a story as you’re learning while you’re reading what is just a really good book!
I was so fascinated to be learning about Rosalind Franklin and was angered that she didn’t get the credit she was due until many years later. It’s just another reminder of how even just 40 years ago, women were not credited for the work they so rightly earned,
If you’re a history buff, I think you’ll enjoy this story. If you’re a science buff, I think you’ll also enjoy this story! Over the last few months I’ve acquired a few more Marie Benedict books that I can’t wait to dive into and I can’t wait to see what she releases in the future!
