Most Clever Girl is a captivating biography of Franklin that tells the story of her life and work. The book is written by Brenda Maddox, a science writer who had access to Franklin's personal papers and interviews with her family and colleagues.

Maddox paints a portrait of Franklin as a complex and fascinating woman. She was a brilliant scientist who was also a passionate advocate for women's rights. She was a pioneer in the field of X-ray diffraction, and her work helped to lay the foundation for the discovery of the structure of DNA.

However, Franklin's contributions to science were often overlooked or downplayed. She was a woman in a male-dominated field, and she was often treated with prejudice and discrimination. She was never given the credit she deserved for her work on DNA, and she died of ovarian cancer at the age of 37.

Most Clever Girl is a long overdue tribute to Rosalind Franklin. The book tells the story of her life and work, and it sheds light on the challenges that she faced as a woman in science. Maddox's writing is clear and engaging, and she brings Franklin's story to life.

Most Clever Girl is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history of science, or in the lives of women who have made significant contributions to the world.
