Synopsis "El secreto de su mente (in Spanish)"

Rosalind Franklin es feliz en el laboratorio, ahí da rienda suelta a su imaginación y realiza los experimentos que, está segura, cambiarán el mundo de la ciencia. Lo único que ensombrece ese universo perfecto son sus compañeros, especialmente Maurice Wilkins, James Watson y Francis Crick, quienes la menosprecian por ser mujer. Por eso, cuando el director del laboratorio le asigna trabajar en la estructura del adn, ella está decidida a demostrar que es tan brillante como cualquier hombre y que puede descubrir todos los secretos que guardan los genes, aunque la exposición constante a los rayos X ponga en riesgo su vida. Cuando finalmente la estructura de doble hélice del adn se le revela con perfecta claridad, son sus colegas, y no Rosalind, quienes reciben el crédito. La nueva y poderosa novela de Marie Benedict, autora bestseller de The New York Times, cuenta la vida de una mujer que sacrificó todo para descubrir la naturaleza de nuestro adn, pero que fue injustamente olvidada por la historia.

Marie Benedict, pseudonym of Heather Terrell, is an American writer and lawyer born in Pittsburgh in 1973. After more than a decade as a litigator in New York, she turned to historical fiction with the purpose of rescuing the stories of notable women who have been forgotten by official history. Graduated in History and Art from Boston College and in Law from Boston University, Benedict has focused her work on influential but little-recognized female figures.

Among her most notable novels are In the Shadow of Einstein (2016), about Mileva Marić; The Only Woman (2019), centered on Hedy Lamarr; The Mystery of Mrs. Christie (2021), which addresses the mysterious disappearance of Agatha Christie; and The Personal Librarian (2023), co-written with Victoria Christopher Murray, about Belle da Costa Greene. Her work falls within the genre of historical novel, focusing on fictionalized biographies of influential women. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages and selected by book clubs such as those of Barnes & Noble and Target.
