There appears to be more than ample evidence that it was NOT Watson & Crick who discovered the SHAPE of DNA, but rather their female colleague Rosalind Franklin who determined the shape through her X-ray studies of DNA. How she accomplished this, and how and why her contribution was not acknowledged until decades later, is the subject of the book "Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA", by Brenda Maddox, HarperCollins 2002.
