17:10 "The tragic destiny of Mileva Maric Einstein": Pauline Gagnon, Physicist, author and blogger
What were Albert Einstein's first wife’s contributions to his extraordinary productivity in the first years of his career? A first biography of Mileva Marić was published in Serbian in 1969 but remained largely unknown despite being translated first in German, then in French in the 1990’s. The publication of Mileva and Albert’s love letters in 1987 revealed how they lived together while two recent publications shed more light on Mileva Marić’s life and work. I will review this evidence in its social and historical context to give a better idea of her contributions. In this presentation, I avoid all types of speculation and do not denigrate Albert Einstein, but rather strictly stick to known facts to unravel her story. The audience will be able to appreciate why such a talented physicist as Mileva Maric has been so unkindly treated by history.
