ALBERT EINSTEIN'S FIRST WIFE, MILEVA EINSTEIN-MARIC, WAS FORGOTTEN FOR DECADES. WHEN A TROVE OF CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THEM BEGINNING IN THEIR STUDENT DAYS WAS DISCOVERED IN 1986, HER STORY BEGAN TO BE TOLD. SOME OF THE TELLERS OF THE "MILEVA STORY" MADE STARTLING CLAIMS: THAT SHE WAS A BRILLIANT MATHEMATICIAN WHO SURPASSED HER HUSBAND, AND THAT SHE MADE UNCREDITED CONTRIBUTIONS TO HIS MOST CELEBRATED PAPERS IN 1905, INCLUDING HIS PAPER ON SPECIAL RELATIVITY. THIS BOOK, BASED ON EXTENSIVE HISTORICAL RESEARCH, UNCOVERS THE REAL "MILEVA STORY."
