#ThanksForTyping: How Women Just ‘Typed’ Their Way Through History

Authors, academicians, poets and even scientists like Einstein had their wives type out manuscripts.

Behind every successful man, there’s a woman! And now a novelist has dug out enough proof for us. Bruce Holsinger, a novelist and an English professor at University of Virginia, has come up with a hashtag ‘#ThanksForTyping.’

A simple discussion Holsinger had with his friends got him thinking of how a lot of journals, fiction, and non-fiction books were actually typed out by the wives of the authors.

Bruce Holsinger then went through a simple search on Google Books and found numerous such examples where authors have thanked their wives for typing out their work for them.
