  <dc:title>Letter from Aaron Klug to Philip Siekevitz</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>Awards and Prizes</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Anne Sayre&apos;s 1975 biography made Franklin&apos;s many accomplishments much more widely known, and she was posthumously honored as a pioneering feminist as well as an excellent scientist. The president of the New York Academy of Sciences asked Aaron Klug to recommend Franklin for a special &quot;woman of science&quot; award. In this letter, Klug responded, and recommended that Franklin be honored for her crucial contributions, not as a &quot;woman of science.&quot; She was never an active feminist, he noted, and might have found it distasteful to be celebrated as one.</dc:description>
