Zurich, 1896: young Serbian Mileva Marić enters the federal polytechnic as a math student, the only woman in her year.

She catches the eye of a student from Germany named Albert Einstein. A story of love and science begins. The spouses work together on what will become the Theory of Relativity. But when it is published in 1905, Albert's is the only name credited. He becomes famous. Milena fades into the background once more, the era and her status as a woman forcing her into the shadows. Drawing on many sources, this book reveals two very different but complementary personalities, moving beyond family drama to restore Mileva to the place where she belongs in an endeavor that revolutionized physics.
