2025Famous People - Mileva Maric - Sheetlets

Mileva Maric Einstein was one of the first women to enroll at the prestigious Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, where she studied physics and mathematics in the late 19th century – at a time when women had almost no access to higher education. She was born in Tittel in 1875 and from an early age showed an exceptional gift for the natural sciences. Her teachers and family recognized her talent early on, and her father strongly supported her in continuing her education, which was very rare for girls at the time.
