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.
