I absolutely adored this book. I feel so sympathetic for Mileva. Regardless of how much she contributed to Albert's work, she was another unfortunate woman who's potential was smushed by a man.

This book helped me out of a reading slump. I hate you Albert Einstein. Loved and appreciated the story of Mileva Marić. She deserved so much better.

a very interesting look at the wife of Albert Einstein and the erasure of women in academia. a perfect dark academia book which does in fact deal with the struggles women & women with disabilities face in navigating academia—something i am facing myself currently, so it was interesting to see a historical perspective.
