Maric is driven, passionate about her chosen path, and an intellectually gifted woman despite her classmates and professor looking down on her for being a woman, she strives to get a degree. Although fictional, Benedict’s work closely resembles the life of Maric as we’ve come to know it today. The book is told from Maric’s point of view, highlighting her struggles as one of the few women of her time to be given the opportunity to study physics at an elite school, up until the demise of her marriage with Albert. Marie Benedict first entertained the idea after researching her child’s project about the life of Maric. The Other Einstein follows the life of Mileva Maric, wife of the infamous Albert Einstein. Reading it felt like watching your house burn down – you know it’s not going to end well but you can’t look away. To say that the book The Other Einstein is heartbreaking would be an understatement. ![]()
