Reminds me vaguely of the true story of Rosalind Franklin who discovered DNA and promptly had that discovery co-opted by James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, who were awarded the Nobel prize for "their" discovery.

I think I'd rather read her real story than a fictionalized novel.
Why not both? 😀 It doesn't have to be one or the other.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Rosalind Franklin inspired the author. And that’s fair. I go in waves. When I was a kid and into adulthood I read a ton of fiction. As I moved into adulthood I started reading a lot of non fiction, and for the last few years, it’s been primarily fiction again, though I’ve recently added a few biographies to my queue.
