Title
The Tragic Destiny of Mileva Marić Einstein
Abstract
What were the contributions of Mileva Marić, Albert Einstein‘s first wife, to his extraordinary productivity at the start of his career? Mileva and Albert’s love letters, published in 1987, revealed how they lived and worked together. By looking at the facts taken in their social and historical context, while avoiding speculation, the audience will be able to judge why such a talented physicist has been so unkindly treated by history.
