She is portrayed quite well in the recent National Geographic series about Einstein's life, "Genius".
Well worth watching. Mileva was a talented physicist and mathematician, contributed significantly to Einstein's early success, gave him three children and Albert dumped her for his cousin.
- throwaway5752 6y agoLike many people, they had a relationship that became bad and they divorced. He is reported to have had numerous extramarital affairs, also. This article is 24 years old https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/06/arts/dark-side-of-einstein-emerges-in-his-letters.html https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/06/arts/dark-side-of-einstei... - all of this is well-known. He supported Mileva and the children from that marriage throughout his life. Everybody has flaws.
- dharma1 6y agoYep, all of that is in the series too. History has largely forgotten her, these days she would have gotten far more credit for her contributions to their scientific work.
- m-watson 6y agoThey also based the series (mostly) off of the book Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. It's worth a read.
