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.
