I had fond feelings about Albert Einstein but all that changed after reading the book, The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict. The other Einstein was his wife, Mileva Maric, a brilliant physicist from Serbia. She studied math and physics and was an outstanding student. Even though she was the only female student in her classes, she excelled until a guy named Albert turned her head. Albert didn't think there was room in one family for two geniuses so he stole her ideas and took all the credit. Mileva was an overlooked woman of science. And now I am not such a big fan of Albert.
