Also worth mentioning, general relativity appeared to violate the conservation of energy until Emmy Noether's contribution:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Noether

"Noether was brought to Göttingen in 1915 by David Hilbert and Felix Klein, who wanted her expertise in invariant theory to help them in understanding general relativity, a geometrical theory of gravitation developed mainly by Albert Einstein. Hilbert had observed that the conservation of energy seemed to be violated in general relativity, due to the fact that gravitational energy could itself gravitate. Noether provided the resolution of this paradox, and a fundamental tool of modern theoretical physics, with Noether's first theorem, which she proved in 1915, but did not publish until 1918."

Also worth mentioning is that feminists said Mileva Maric, his wife was the real credit behind his work and PBS even aired a documentary (which just shows how even documentaries are biased), until the back-lash from the scientific community dismantled this fantasized myth.

Maric story is irrelevant in relation to Noether, I don't know why it's brought up, because:

Emmy Noether really did this, it was really a big thing:

Certainly not a myth.

Just stating another thing worth mentioning.. that is all :)
