Einstein's uncredited collaborator: Mileva Einstein-Maric, his physicist wife and collaborator on his 1905 papers

Scholarship makes such a fuss about ensuring that credit is given where credit is due, its amazing (well, not really, but it should be) how often women are overlooked.

I suggest that the whole idea of "man of the century" is misleading and frankly, dishonest. Try ingesting a little food for thought on the mythic illusion "credit" for "great men" as isolated giants of history completely devoid of context and collaboration.
