Mileva Einstein, Theory of Sorrow

Original edition:

Mileva Einstein, teorija tuge

Fraktura, Zagreb, 2016

In her novel Mileva Einstein, Theory of Sorrow, Slavenka Drakulić peers at the other side of genius. Taking a feminist perspective of one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, she looks at Albert Einstein through the prism of his relationship with his first wife, the Serbian physicist, Mileva Marić, who gave up a potentially promising career in science to be his wife and mother to his children. Her fate is a chilling reminder of women’s fight for emancipation and equality in a male world.
