"Albert Einstein’s first wife Mileva (Mitza) Marić was also a brilliant
physicist. They met at the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich, where she
had fought for special permissions to attend and where she received
higher marks than Albert.
Mitza put in as much if not more work on their theories but wasn’t
credited because Albert told her their works wouldn’t get published with
a woman’s name on them.
Many of his lecture notes are in Mitza’s handwriting, and Albert was
once heard at a party saying, “I need my wife, she helps solve all of my
mathematical problems.” 80% of Einstein’s famous works were published
during this marriage, referred to as his “magic years.” Those magic
years ended abruptly after they divorced due to his infidelity and
abandonment."
Happy Women’s History Month to the
 real
genius of the Einstein family, Mileva Marić
