Question
Write a note on Mileva Maric

Answer

  • While studying at the University of Zurich Einstein found a fellow Serb student named Mileva Maric 'a clever creature'.
  • She had come to the University at Zurich as it was one of the few in Europe where women could get degrees.
  • Einstein saw an ally in her against the people in his family and at the university with whom he was constantly at odds.
  • They fell in love and shared their love for science too.
  • Einstein's mother was against him marrying Mileva Maric because she was too old and too intelligent for him.
  • Also she felt she was a book like her son so Einstein put off marrying Mileva for some time but in $1903$ he married her and they had two sons.
  • After a few years post her marriage Mileva lost her intellectual ambition and became an unhappy housewife so the couple were constantly fighting and finally took a divorce in $1919.$
