A Success Story of DNA Double Helix

History is the story of the achievements of men and women, but it records relatively few outstanding names and events. Many important contributions were by people whose names have been forgotten and whose accomplishments have been lost in the longer and deeper shadows cast by those who caught the fancy of the chroniclers. It has been said that in science the credit goes to the one who convinces the world, not to the one who first had the idea. Women are also not the exception here. There are notable examples of exceptional women not being publicly acknowledged for their contributions.
