#NobelforMileva
In honour of International Women's Day on March the 8th, #NobelforMileva was created in defense of gender equality and female recognition in science and technology. It is also a global movement to advocate for justice, asking the Nobel Foundation in Sweden to recognise the work and talent of Mileva Marić, the Serbian physicist and mathematician who was also the first wife of physicist Albert Einstein, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1921. Mileva was a co-author in many academic achievements of the famous scientist, including the theory of relativity.
The movement also relies on the “Milevas of the Future” an animated short film, with the story of three girls who are passionate for science and find in Mileva Marić the necessary encouragement to follow their dreams.
Throughout history, due to different social circumstances, the scientific work of many women has been forgotten even though their contribution to science has become the foundation of many scientific achievements. This campaign draws attention to the successes and contributions of women in science around the world and motivates girls to do science. https://www.behance.net/gallery/118402045/INSPIRING-GIRLS-NOBEL-FOR-MILEVA
