1. The Other Einstein/Marie Benedict

Easy read. Anti romance/historical.

‘In 1896, the extra ordinary gifted Mileva “Mitzi” Maric is the only woman studying physics at an elite school in Zurich…. until she falls in love with fellow student Albert Einstein.’

‘…a brilliant scientist in her own right, whose contributions to the special theory of relativity have been hotly debated.’

Story may be triggering as women had no rights and the ‘enslaving’ misogyny is hard to square with her intelligence and passion for science.

‘phenomenal and heartbreaking’
