There has been a long-lived debate over Mileva Marić-Einstein’s role in Albert Einstein’s scientific work. Some assert that she was a coauthor of his major papers, often citing the use of such phrases as “our work” in their letters, whereas others reject that claim, arguing that such phrases were used not to denote Marić-Einstein’s direct collaboration in the research but rather to convey affection and have the couple viewed as a team. Her exact contributions remain unclear.
