  This is a contemporary review of the involvement of Mileva Maric, Albert
Einsteins first wife, in his theoretical work between the period of 1900 to
1905. Separate biographies are outlined for both Mileva and Einstein, prior to
their attendance at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich in 1896. Then, a
combined journal is described, detailing significant events. In additional to a
biographical sketch, comments by various authors are compared and contrasted
concerning two narratives: firstly, the sequence of events that happened and
the couples relationship at particular times. Secondly, the contents of letters
from both Einstein and Mileva. Some interpretations of the usage of pronouns in
those letters during 1899 and 1905 are re-examined, and a different hypothesis
regarding the usage of those pronouns is introduced. Various papers are
examined and the content of each subsequent paper is compared to the work that
Mileva was performing. With a different take, this treatment further suggests
that the couple continued to work together much longer than other authors have
indicated. We also evaluate critics and supporters of the hypothesis that
Mileva was involved in Einsteins work, and refocus this within a historical
context, in terms of women in science in the late 19th century. Finally, the
definition of, collaboration (co-authorship, specifically) is outlined. As a
result, recommendations are stated, the first of which is that Mileva should be
seriously considered as an honorary co-author of one, possibly two, papers, and
secondly, of which it is recommended that a serious inquiry should be made,
concerning the extent of Mileva Mari\'cs involvement in Albert Einsteins
published works between 1902 and 1905.
