The Other Einstein

By Marie Benedict

Book Overview

One of PopSugar's "25 Books You're Going to Curl Up with this Fall." " The Other Einstein takes you into Mileva's heart, mind, and study as she tries to forge a place for herself in a scientific world dominated by men."- Bustle In the tradition of The Paris Wife and Mrs. Poe , The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. It is the story of Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight. Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

Great book!

Definitely one of my favorite reads of 2022 but I’m also just a sucker for a good Historical Fiction

The Other Einstein

This book was written in a foreign language WITHOUT WARNING!!

A view into Einstein's private life and marriage

This was very interesting form a feminist view point.
