Скачать или смотреть The Other Einstein, by Marie Benedict (a Book summary)

In The Other Einstein, Marie Benedict masterfully illuminates the life of Mileva Marić, a brilliant physicist whose contributions were overshadowed by her husband, Albert Einstein. Set against the backdrop of a male-dominated scientific landscape in the late 19th century, the novel explores the poignant "what ifs" of Mileva's life—what if she had pursued her academic ambitions unimpeded? What if her intellect had been recognized rather than relegated to the shadows of her husband's fame?


Mileva's journey begins at Zürich Polytechnic, where she defies societal norms as one of the few women studying physics. Her relationship with Albert, initially one of mutual respect and collaboration, gradually morphs into a complex dynamic marked by emotional distance and personal sacrifice. As she grapples with societal expectations and personal loss, readers are drawn into her struggles and triumphs, questioning the historical narrative that has often marginalized women in science.
