Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa.

She was a poor, black tobacco farmer whose cells--taken without her knowledge in 1951--became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, and more.

Henrietta's cells have been bought and sold by the BILLIONS, yes she remains virtually unknown, and her family can't afford health insurance.

This phenomenal New York Times bestseller tells a riveting story of the collision between ethics, race, and medicine; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of a daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew.

Sturdy and Functional
Color: White, Size: 3 layer
Sturdy and well-made. The drawers glide easily. Some other reviewers complained that the handles are hard to pull open, but I did not have that problem at all. I actually bought it to store my hair barrettes so that they stay nice. With the different compartments shapes, I was able to find places for thin, long barrettes, large bow barrettes, and long headbands. It is just perfect.

good quality and weight
Color: Black
I used mine as a place to put misc papers and notes for three employees in our office. They work great. They are not flimsy at all and have a nice appearance. No sharp corners and no defects. They are just as I hoped they would be
