Description

Story of the Serbian Mileva Maric (1875-1948), who studied physics and mathematics in Switzerland as one of the first women and was the first wife of theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. She was forgotten for decades, till correspondence between them was discovered in 1986 and her story began to be told. Some claimed that she surpassed her husband and made contributions to Einstein's papers. This book, based on historical research, uncovers her life in which she struggled against a variety of obstacles, her contribution to Einstein's work and the history of the Mileva Story. Also included is an historical article on the struggle and success of women in science.
