In this extraordinary memoir, Katalin Karikó describes her improbable and inspiring journey from obscurity and rejection to the breakthrough discovery that led to the COVID-19 vaccines. It's an indictment of closed-minded thinking and a testament to one woman's commitment to laboring intensely in obscurity - knowing she might never be recognized in a culture that is driven by prestige, power, and privilege - because she believed her work would save lives.
