For those that don't know or didn't remember like me:

Almost 80 years ago, Florence Bell quietly laid the foundations for one of the biggest landmarks in 20th century science: the discovery of the structure of DNA. But when she died on November 23 2000, her occupation on her death certificate was recorded as "housewife."

It's ironic that the article doesn't explain what she did to discover the structure of DNA.

Wikipedia has a better breakdown of her efforts.
