Explanation
In 1896 Mileva Maric met Albert Einstein at the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich where women were accepted, which was not usual in those days. Mileva was four years older than Einstein, but they had a lot of things in common and they were in the same grade. They started a relationship but before their marriage, Mileva got pregnant. They had a girl, called Lieserl who died of an illness shortly after the birth. Years later they got married and had two children, Hans Albert and Eduard who suffered from schizophrenia. She didn’t finish her studies because she wanted to take care of her children and support the work of her husband. In 1919 they divorced. Three years later, Einstein gave a part of the Nobel Prize money to Mileva, and she spent all this money on caring for their second son. Some people think that Mileva contributed to Einstein’s theories while others say she didn't give important help in his work. She died at the age of 72.
