The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict

The Other EinsteinThe Other Einstein by Marie Benedict
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book, it was well written and I learned a great deal about the past of Albert Einstein, but I was also incredibly upset and frustrated while reading this. The unfair nature of life for women in the 19th and 20th century was overwhelming at times. The main character Mileva was intelligent and formidable in her own right before meeting Albert. The only downside to reading this book is that it does tarnish the reputation of a beloved historical figure. While the author did take some literary liberties with the story, it is quite believable that events happened just as the author described.
