Dorothy Wrinch, born in Rosario, Argentina and raised in Surbiton, England, was educated at Girton College, Cambridge, and mentored by Betrand Russell, G. H. Hardy, and D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson. Determined to determine the atomic structure of proteins, she spent her long career on the borderlines between mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology—and on the margins of those professions too. Brilliant and feisty, she controversially galvanized the field of protein chemistry. Today she is remembered less for her for her bitter feud with the chemist Linus Pauling than for her remarkable early work in logic and her novel insights into the mathematical problems of crystal structure determination.
