The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict
Twenty year old Mitza must leave her hometown in Serbia, her family and all that is familiar to pursue her dream of attending the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. The year is 1896 and very few women are allowed to attend the prestigious school. As the only female in the physics department, she must face the ridicule and harassment of the the other students and professors. She is surprised and somewhat mystified when she is the recipient of positive attention from one of her fellow students.
This is an interesting story about the of life of Albert Einstein's first wife, how they met and their time together. This is a work of fiction, but is based on events that happened during the time they were together. The story portrays the struggles and limitations that Mitza faced as she pursued her dream of an education and then later as a mother to her children and wife of Albert.
