Mileva Malik was born in a wealthy peasant family. She has been smart and studious since childhood. After graduating from high school, her parents sent her to a Swiss girls' school for further study. At the end of 19, there were few female college students. Later, she transferred to Zurich, because in other places, female students could not take the exam.
When she first arrived in Zurich, she signed up to study medicine, but later she changed her mind and studied physics and mathematics. She and Einstein were classmates at that time.
After falling in love with Instad, they were inseparable, studying together and discussing scientific issues together. 190 1 year, Einstein said in a letter to her: "Only you can help me to succeed in the subject of relative motion. How happy and proud I am! "
Passionate love made them neglect their studies. 1900, Einstein passed the exam only at a medium level, but mileva failed. Just as she was preparing for the make-up exam, an unexpected thing happened and she was pregnant. Under the circumstances at that time, getting pregnant before marriage would mean a young scientist's future was in vain.
Mileva resolutely returned to her parents, where she gave birth to a daughter named Lisell. The child was born with mental disorder. After that, no one knew about the child. She may be dead or adopted by others. But what is certain is that Einstein has never seen his daughter.
Despite the opposition of their families, Einstein and mileva got married in 1903. At that time, Einstein worked in the patent office and was a "third-class technical expert". In the same year, Einstein began to write a doctoral thesis, saying, "I need my wife. She can solve my math problem. "
For mileva, giving up personal career is marriage and love. How she got out of the predicament of losing her daughter is still unknown. After marriage, she devoted herself to her husband and made every effort to help Einstein. She does all the housework, and in order to earn money to support her family, she also runs a family hotel for college students.
1904, their son was born and named Hans? Albert. 1905 is Einstein's bumper harvest year, in which he published five papers that caused the revolution of natural science. Mileva proudly told his girlfriend, "We have finished an important job, which will make my husband famous in one fell swoop!" "1909, Einstein got a professorship in Zurich. During this year, news about him and other women spread everywhere, and mileva was heartbroken. 19 10, their second son was born, but this little guy was as unlucky as his sister and suffered from mental illness all his life. 19 1 1 year, Einstein, who is already a well-known professor, went to Prague. With a woman's intuition, mileva felt a catastrophe. Sure enough, Einstein soon began to fall in love with his cousin elsa. Therefore, in 19 14, mileva prevented Einstein from working at the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin.
Einstein was very angry about this. He informed his wife in writing that if he wants to maintain his marriage, he must meet the following conditions: a. You must ensure that my clothes and bedding are clean and tidy, that I have three meals a day, and that my workplace is clean and tidy. In particular, I want to remind you that my desk is not allowed to be used by others. B, give up all relations between us, unless you participate in social activities, especially don't let me sit with you at home, don't let me go out or travel with you. C. Pay attention to the following matters when interacting with me: Don't expect me to be nice to you and not angry. If necessary, you must immediately terminate the conversation with me and leave the dormitory or workshop unconditionally as long as I ask. D, you have an obligation not to despise me with words or actions in front of the children.
A few months later, helpless mileva returned to Switzerland with his two sons, while Einstein stayed in Berlin.
During World War I, mileva and his children lived in Zurich, while Einstein lived in Berlin with Elsa, who later became his second wife.
19 16, Einstein wrote to mileva asking for a divorce. The news came as a bolt from the blue for mileva, who was in physical and economic trouble at that time, but she had no choice. 19 19, mileva agreed to divorce, but she offered to share part of the Nobel Prize. 192 1, Einstein did give her some when she got the bonus, but how much money she got is still a mystery.
All the happiness in the world has left mileva. In order to treat her youngest son Edward Wood, she spent almost all her savings. Later, she could only make a living by teaching piano. In 1930s, her eldest son went to America with his wife and children. Mileva stayed in Switzerland to take care of his sick son and almost lived in seclusion.
1948, this strong woman died in a hospital in Zurich.

During this period, Einstein lived in Princeton for a long time. His marriage with his second wife Elsa, who got married in 19 19, was also unhappy. He commented on this marriage like this: an unsuccessful marriage is maintained by some kind of accident. Elsa knows nothing about physics. He admitted that his ex-wife could help him with his studies. In fact, Einstein was not emotionally loyal to Elsa, but Elsa loved her husband deeply and tolerated one "lonely genius" after another.
Fortunately, all the women who came into contact with Einstein were dead set on him. After his wife's death, his daily life was taken care of by his adopted daughter Maget Leuventar and his long-term female secretary Helena Durkas until his death in 1955.
