Galileo's daughter

How was Galileo's daughter essential to his writing?

-she kept him living for a long time by helping him around the house and doing the jobs he could not finish on his own
-she took care of him and fed him and gave him medicine
-edited The Dialogue even though she never received any formal education
-made special medicine during the Black Plague for her father to keep him from getting sick
-she encouraged him, she was all he really had
-she helped him continue his writing
- she risked her life so that he could continue his passion
