Galileo's Daughter.

Galileo's daughter was Suor Maria Celeste. She was a nun living in a convent but even though she was secluded she was essential for her father's writing. First of all Suor Maria Celeste helped his father in all aspects. She took care of him she helped him finacially, fed him and eventually became his editor. Galileo and his daughter send eachother letters which is usually his manuscripts even though she doesn't entirely understand his work she still gives him advice and tells him what not to write. If it weren't for her Galileo's work would not even be published.
