The Scientist and the Humanitarian: Dr. Mary-Claire King

By: Webster, Michael

In a scientific world that valued conformity, Dr. Mary-Claire King was a rebel. She was a mathematician who dared to become a geneticist, a humanitarian who used her skills to fight for justice, and a woman who became a giant in a male-dominated field.

This book tells the story of her dual life: the groundbreaking discovery of the BRCA1 gene that changed the course of breast cancer research forever, and her parallel crusade using DNA to reunite families torn apart by war and political violence.

Discover the woman who proved that science isn't just a pursuit of knowledge but a powerful tool for compassion and justice. A compelling and inspiring biography of a life lived at the intersection of discovery and humanity. Approx.166 pages, 30000 word count
