Author of the Week
Historical fiction author Marie Benedict writes well-researched stories based on the lives of real women who bore witness to significant moments in history. Her books often star the wives or lovers of famous political figures, scientists, and business people, adding context and fresh perspective to well-trodden, male-centric historical accounts. Benedict's protagonists are well-developed, complex, and typically engulfed in some sort of drama as they struggle to carve out their important, yet often overlooked, place in history. Start with The Other Einstein.
