Legacy worldwide

• Photograph 51 and the structure of DNA
• Advances in X-ray crystallography

Epoque

I lived the interwar period and in the 30s at the same time in The United Kingdom there was the "red decade". When i had started university, the Second World War had begun two years ago and the aggression towards the jews increased. I was also able to experience the beginning of the Cold War era i experiencing strong sexism and the presence of a more marked patriarchal system, especially in my field of work.
