This reminds me, of Edith Einstein, niece of Albert. She was also a talented physicist overshadowed by her extremely famous (male) relative. Her academic path even crossed with that of her uncle: she wrote a paper analysing the physics of radiometers, after which Albert did too. [Her paper argued in favour of the radiometric force being proportional to the surface area of the veins, Albert argued (more convincingly) in favour of a model in which the force in proportional to the perimeter.]
