Serbia: Mileva Maric (1875 – 1948) was a Serbian physicist and the first wife of Albert Einstein, 1896

Mileva Maric (December 19, 1875 – August 4, 1948) was a Serbian physicist. She was the only woman among Albert Einstein's fellow students at the Zurich Polytechnic. They developed a relationship and had a daughter before their marriage, Lieserl, who either died young or was given up for adoption. After their marriage in 1903, they had two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard.

They separated in 1914, with Maric taking the boys and returning to Zurich from Berlin. They divorced in 1919; that year Einstein married again. When he received the Nobel Prize in 1921, he transferred the money to Maric, chiefly to support their sons.
