Mileva Einstein-Maric: la madre «olvidada» de la teoría de la relatividad

Abstract

«Mileva Einstein-Maric: The ‘Forgotten’ Mother in the Theory of Relativity» «I have some mathematical difficulties I cannot overcome. I ask you to help me; if you don’t, I can go mad». This is the request Albert Einstein made to his friend Marcel Grossmann as he worked in the problem of gravity; this aid would in many occasions lead to the co-signature of the results. Why did not Einstein act in the same way with his own wife Mileva Maric. This paper shows some already well-known evidence of Mileva’s participation in Einstein’s work in order to reveal some persistent impediments that could have been decisive for Mileva Maric’s lack of recognition.
