The Other Einstein

Author: Marie Benedict
Stars: 3
Review by: BeachBarb

I knew nothing about Albert Einstein's first wife Mileva Maric when this book came up on the elibrary site and was available to all. She was an interesting woman ahead of her time in intelligence and direction, but not assertive enough as a wife. I would never leave my child for anyone, and felt for Mileva when Lieserl died. I thought she should have left Einstein long before she did. I also wonder if Einstein really loved Mileva or just wanted to exploit her in the ways she could help him advance his own career. It seems like she was much smarter than he was, and kinder. This was a good read.
