Bookmarked The Forgotten Life of Einstein's First Wife (Scientific American Blog Network)

She was a physicist, too—and there is evidence that she contributed significantly to his groundbreaking science

Albert Einstein had a wife, she may have had a part to play in his success:

Peter Michelmore, one of his biographers(7), wrote that after having spent five weeks to complete the article containing the basis of special relativity, Albert “went to bed for two weeks. Mileva checked the article again and again, and then mailed it”. Exhausted, the couple made the first of three visits to Serbia where they met numerous relatives and friends, whose testimonies provide a wealth of information on how Albert and Mileva collaborated.
