Serbian mathematician and wife of Albert Einstein (1875–1948)
Mileva Marić was a Serbian mathematician (1875–1948) who studied physics and mathematics at university level during a time when few women had access to higher education. She is historically significant because she was married to Albert Einstein during his most productive years, leading to ongoing scholarly discussion about her possible contributions to his work and the recognition of women's roles in scientific discovery.

Encyclopedic overview
Mileva Marić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милева Марић, pronounced [milěːva mǎːritɕ]; 19 December 1875 – 4 August 1948), sometimes called Mileva Marić-Einstein (Милева Марић-Ајнштајн, Mileva Marić-Ajnštajn), was a Serbian mathematician. She also was the first wife of Albert Einstein from 1903 to 1919. She was the only woman among Einstein's fellow students at Zurich Polytechnic. Marić and Einstein were study colleagues and lovers, and had a daughter Lieserl in 1902, who likely died of scarlet fever at one and a half years old. They later had two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard. The question of whether she contributed to Einstein's early work (in particular the annus mirabilis papers) has been debated.
