My linocut with portrait of Kathleen Lonsdale in gradient of lavender at the bottom to indigo at the top. She looks like a serious woman with a big mop of curly hair, round glasses, in a floral shirt and blazer. To her left is her own first drawing of electron density projection calculated for hexachlorobenzene. In front of her in black is her own one crystal model of hexamethylbenzene (with spheres for atoms and bars to indicate bonds or for structure and a small tag).

Happy birthday to Kathleen Lonsdale DBE FRS (née Yardley, 1903-1971) who solved a longstanding #chemistry conundrum of the shape of benzene, here with her drawing of electron density for hexachlorobenzene (green) & model of hexamethylbenzene explore shape in different forms. Her husband said, “Before prison it might have bothered her to go to Buckingham Palace. Afterwards, Holloway or Buckingham Palace were all the same.” 🧵1/n
