The
Other Einstein by Marie Benedict

A
free physical copy, the following review is my own.
First,
the cover on this book is so pretty!
Second,
this story… It made me feel all types of uncomfortable, in a good way. Albert
Einstein is a well-known historical figure, but what about his first wife? She
gave birth to three children and was a brilliant physicist. What is the phrase,
behind every great man is a woman who pushed him there?
While Albert’s fame
grew, Mileva gave up on her own budding career, or did she? As a woman her
thoughts and findings would not have been readily accepted by the public. If Einstein,
a man, were to publish them as his own though…
This
was a very intriguing book and makes you think more about history that is not
told in school. What if Einstein’s theories were not his own? Based on found
letters this book could be history, or it could be fiction. Either way it was
engaging.
