This is Wilkins erasure (one of her colleagues at King’s College who was the third recipient of the Nobel). In reality the Nobel award is not given posthumously and she died very young (cancer related to her x ray exposure), several years before the committee recognized the rest of the group for their work on DNA
This is what I wrote a while back on the Science thread about the modern idea that Franklin was robbed of recognition
The Kings College data Watson and Crick used was partially Watkins’ and he openly shared it with them. After everything was ultimately put together, the 4 of them agreed to a publication plan that had Watson a Crick publish their work independently, with the two KC investigators publishing separate accompanying papers reporting their separate contributions to the foundational data. At the time, the papers were very much viewed as a collection and Franklin had every bit her say in how that information was disseminated and how the credit was attributed. I think some of the “Franklin was robbed” ideas come from modern views of the patriarchy that paint her as Peggy Olson (Mad Men) type character who was demeaned by the male establishment, but descriptions of her from her friends show her anything but.
Interestingly, for all the “where is the proper attribution” ideas about how Watson and Crick used the Kings College data, the famous “photo 51” was captured neither by Wilkins nor Franklin, but by a grad student who went back and forth between them, which was why Wilkens believed the photo to be his, scientifically speaking. Ultimately Franklin is referenced in every textbook about the structure of DNA yet poor old Wilkins (and his grad student) is actually largely forgotten
