Milena and Albert

"But nobody made it clearer than Albert Einstein himself that they collaborated on special relativity when he wrote to Mileva on 27 March 1901: 'How happy and proud I will be when the two of us together will have brought our work on relative motion to a victorious conclusion.'

Then Mileva’s destiny changed abruptly."
~ P. Gagnon

“Before our departure, we finished an important scientific work which will make my husband known around the world.”

Later:

"You made me laugh when you started threatening me with your recollections. Have you ever considered, even just for a second, that nobody would ever pay attention to your says if the man you talked about had not accomplished something important. When someone is completely insignificant, there is nothing else to say to this person but to remain modest and silent. This is what I advise you to do.” ~ Albert Einstein https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/the-forgotten-life-of-einsteins-first-wife/
