		Brenda Maddox missed her calling in life: she should have been a writer for one of the tabloid newspapers in the grocery-store checkout lines.
		Not surprisingly, Maddox's drive to find a reasonable explanation for an inner life completely enthralled with the imaginary tends to limit what she is seeking to convey--a fully understandable vision of a poet who, for all practical purposes, spurned the idea of personality, at least in its more traditional manifestations.
		Maddox's book is not scholarly, nor is it sensational; she walks a very careful line between the reverential respect for the Great Nobel Laureate, and an irreverent and open look at his private life, whether in the company of ghosts, or lovely young women...

		In this sympathetic biography, Maddox argues that sexism, egotism and anti-Semitism conspired to marginalize a brilliant and uncompromising young scientist who, though disliked by some colleagues, was a warm and admired friend to many.
		Brenda Fox paints a magnetic portrait of Franklin - a woman who was alternatively gregarious and witty, with a penchant for all things French (a very fine prejudice indeed), yet was also cold, hostile and aristocratically overbearing.
		Brenda Maddox has written an important work for everyone as she is helping to document a historical record that was deeply flawed, and now slowly is being corrected.

		Brenda Maddox's Rosalind Franklin: the Dark Lady of DNA is the "untold" story of the scientist whose work was paramount in the discovery of the double helix.
		The manifest unfairness of her exclusion from the glory attached to what may be the most important scientific discovery of the second half of the 20th century was underlined by the bitchy and misogynist portrait of her in Watson's bestselling book The Double Helix.
		Brenda Maddox, in her biography, attempts to present a balanced portrait of Franklin and of the assorted giant male egos with whom she came into contact.

	'Yeats’s Ghosts' by Brenda Maddox
		Maddox draws creatively on the massive three volumes of Yeats’ “vision papers,” which record the automatic writing that Georgie Yeats performed in more than 450 sittings, where Georgie’s hand was supposedly “grasped” by spirits from another world.
		As Maddox skillfully points out, Georgie’s automatic script may be read as “an exotic exercise in family planning.” Shortly before his marriage to Georgie, Yeats was passionately in love with Iseult Gonne, the 19-year-old daughter of Maude Gonne, a famous Irish beauty and patriot and the idealized subject of a number of Yeats’ lyrics.
		Maddox offsets this reaction with occasional close analysis of Yeats’ lines, matching imagery from the script with imagery in the poems written at the time.

	WAG: Yeats's Ghosts
		In Maddox's opinion, the Automatic Script was "a circuitous method of communication between a shy husband and wife who hardly knew each other, whose sexual life had got off to a troubled start, and for whom the occult and the sexual were virtually indistinguishable." It also, she writes,
		Whether from her own wish for a baby, from her awareness of his determination to placate his ancestors, or from her eagerness to cement the marriage (probably from all three), her pages gave procreation a high-priority--as if she sensed it was going to be difficult.
		But Maddox is also quick to acknowledge that many of the themes and metaphors that drive Yeats's best poetry (the widening gyre in "The Second Coming," for example) come at least indirectly from the Script sessions.

	Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA - PowerBookSearch!
		The latter element is Maddox's best contribution to her portrayal, for Franklin has become a symbol of victimhood for some feminists, an unsought role that does not fit the real Franklin, Maddox suggests.
		Just as interested as Maddox is in the professional work of Franklin￯﾿ﾽwho also gained renown for her work on the chemistry of coal and on the tobacco mosaic virus￯﾿ﾽshe is fascinated by Franklin's character, which could be prickly, reserved, suspicious, highly territorial, and abrupt.
		She did have a personal life, well detailed by Maddox, with friends and travels.Importantly, she received considerable recognition for her work; Maddox regards the notion that she was crushed by the DNA ballyhoo as ridiculous.

	Review: Rosalind Franklin by Brenda Maddox \| Books \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		Perutz is now dead, a fact which perhaps makes it easier for Franklin's second biographer, Brenda Maddox, not least because of the UK libel laws, to examine his subtly shifting position over the years and to conclude that this was a breach of confidentiality and harmful to Franklin's interests.
		She describes Franklin's sexual attraction to Jacques Mehring (one of the leading scientists in the Paris lab), and delicately shows that Franklin neither understood her own feelings as sexual, nor realised that he was having an affair with another colleague.
		Today it is rather different: a woman scientist can more easily have an active sexual life, but in an environment that is still family-unfriendly, she might well echo her predecessor's "choice" and have no children.

	BOOKS : THE MARRIED MAN
		Maddox seeks not only to shed new light on Lawrence's psychological (and sexual) makeup but also to improve his image, to portray him as a more likable, joyous character than he usually seems.
		Maddox believes that Frieda seduced Lawrence within 20 minutes of their meeting, which seems a bit of a stretch, but is certainly metaphorically true.
		Maddox's book is engrossing, intelligent, almost always on target, and it does reveal a lighter side of Lawrence.

	Brenda Maddox
		On April 25, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published their groundbreaking discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, the molecule essential for passing on our genes and the "secret of life." But their crucial breakthrough depended on the pioneering work of another biologist--Rosalind Franklin.
		In Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA, Maddox resurrects the reputation of a scientist of great achievement, and supplies an arresting portrait of an intelligent, highly principled and talented young woman who helped change the course of our knowledge about life on earth.
		Brenda Maddox is an award-winning biographer whose work has been translated into ten languages.

	Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA by Brenda Maddox: ThePost.ie
		In Brenda Maddox's opinion neither the portrait of `Rosy' in Watson's book nor the subsequent mythologising of her as a wronged heroine do Franklin any real justice.
		Objective yet sensitive to the complexities of her subject, Maddox uncovers the woman behind the myth.
		Maddox does not try to airbrush Franklin's flaws nor does she indulge in pop psychology.
