In the Shadow of Einstein: The True Story of the Genius's Wife

The name of Mileva Einstein-Maric, the first wife of the great Einstein, was long forgotten. In 1986, after the discovery of correspondence between her and Albert Einstein, her story began to unfold. Many researchers have concluded that Mileva was a brilliant scientist in her own right, in some ways even surpassing her husband, and that she influenced some of Einstein's most famous works, including the creation of the theory of relativity. Was Mileva a co-author of Albert's, an indispensable assistant in scientific research, an ambitious scientist? It is tempting to suggest such, in pursuit of a new scientific sensation. Her name often appears in various scientific investigations of Einstein's creativity. This book, based on extensive historical research and written by three independent authors, reveals the true "story of Mileva," the first wife of the genius of science.
