ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict tells the story of Mileva Marić, a brilliant physicist struggling to make her mark in a male-dominated world at the turn of the 20th century. The novel follows Mileva's journey as she navigates her studies at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic, her complex relationship with Albert Einstein, and the challenges of balancing her personal life with her scientific aspirations. The book explores themes of gender inequality, intellectual collaboration, betrayal, and the sacrifices women make to pursue their passions. It examines the dynamics of Mileva and Albert's relationship, highlighting the unequal power balance and the challenges Mileva faced as she tried to maintain her identity as a scientist while supporting Albert’s career. It delves into the possible impact of personal loss on scientific discovery.
