Oh, I just learned that Einstein was leaning on his wife for the mathematical parts of his theories, and that she was probably a crucial part of his success.

As a scientist, I'm a bit ashamed I did not know that.

Yet another example of marginalization of women in sciences!

@erou though this doesn't detract from the fact that many women have contributed to science and mathematics like Marie Gaetana Agnesi, Ada Lovelace, Emmy Noether, Marie Curie, and Grace Hopper to name a few:
