Marie Benedict wrote her first novel at the intersection of law and art, on the side of her high-powered law career. Eventually she left the law and started delving into the stories of overlooked women in history. Marie describes years of experimenting with genre, landing in historical fiction, circling back to what she says she was passionate about as early as middle school, to gain a spot on the coveted NYT bestseller list. Marie’s latest novel, Hidden Genius, tells the story of Rosalind Franklin, the woman whose discovery of the double helix of DNA was stolen by two other male scientists at the time. In this episode, Marie takes us behind the scenes of her research, her passion, and an exciting sneak peek of her next book!
