Mileva Marić was an exceptional young woman in many ways. In an age when most young ladies never dreamed of becoming scientists, Mileva traveled to Switzerland and studied physics. There she met Albert Einstein and married him in 1903. They had already spent many years working together on the Poincaré-Lorentz Theory of Relativity. Mileva and Albert wrote to each other discussing their team effort to study the theory. Many of these letters have survived. Albert Einstein served as the sounding board for Mileva's ideas and helped her by scouring the scientific literature for the latest innovations in the theory. In 1905, the Einsteins published their first paper on the Poincaré-Lorentz theory of relativity. Mileva submitted this now famous article to Annalen der Physik under her name "Einstein-Marity". Albert took sole credit for the work which became world famous just as Mileva had expected. There is abundant evidence that Mileva Marić, Albert Einstein's first wife, collaborated with Albert on the production and publication of this and their other famous papers of 1905. Given that they were submitted under her last name Einstein-Marity, not his, Mileva may even have been the sole author of the fateful articles.
