Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mileva Marić was more than Albert Einstein’s first wife—she was a brilliant physicist whose intellectual contributions have long been overlooked. As one of the first women to study physics at the prestigious Swiss Federal Polytechnic, she defied societal expectations and pursued groundbreaking scientific inquiries alongside her famous husband.

But was her role merely that of a supportive partner, or did she play a more significant part in shaping the theories that revolutionized modern physics? Drawing on historical documents, personal letters, and expert analyses, Mileva Marić: The Forgotten Scientist unravels the mystery surrounding her influence on Einstein’s early work, particularly in the development of the Special Theory of Relativity.

This compelling book sheds light on a woman whose legacy has been unjustly eclipsed by history. It is a tribute to a pioneering mind, an exploration of lost recognition, and a call to reexamine the stories we tell about scientific genius.

For readers fascinated by the hidden figures of science, gender dynamics in academia, and the untold contributions of brilliant women, Mileva Marić: The Forgotten Scientist is an essential and thought-provoking read.
