From beloved New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie
Benedict comes the story of a not-so-famous scientist who not only loved
Albert Einstein, but also shaped the theories that brought him lasting
renown.
In the tradition of Beatriz Williams and Paula McClain, Marie Benedict's
The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating
woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. This novel
resurrects Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right,
whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated.
Was she simply Einstein's sounding board, an assistant performing
complex mathematical equations? Or did she contribute something more?
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. 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.
Marie Benedict illuminates one pioneering woman in STEM, returning her
to the forefront of history's most famous scientists.
"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
