Do You Know Who Mileva Maric Was?

Albert Einstein is known to be a genius. But did you know his wife Mileva Marić Einstein was a brilliant mathematician herself. A lot of the projects Einstein took credit for were worked on by both Mileva and Albert. It is sad that just because she was a woman no credit was given to her and albert only got the Nobel prize.

On the contrary Marie Curies husband, Pierre Curie was offered a Nobel prize for his work. But he didn’t accept saying they should give it to his wife because she worked on it mostly. So, she was given the prize. This shows us that we should all respect everyone’s hard work irrespective of their gender.
