Suffragettes vs. Einstein
score:12
I wonder whether what you're recalling was the battle waged against Einstein by the Woman Patriot Corporation.
The "corporation" was anti-suffragette in character, possibly anti-Jewish and certainly anti-communist and anti-pacifist.
In 1932 the organisation filed a memorandum complaining about Einstein's return to the United States. They claimed, according to Einstein on Politics: His Private Thoughts And Public Stands on Nationalism, Zionism, War, Peace, and the Bomb edited by David E. Rowe, Robert J. Schulmann:
Einstein was not merely a pernicious influence; he was the ringleader of an anarcho-communist program whose aim was to shatter the military machinery of national governments as a preliminary for world revolution.
The Jewish Telegraph archive has a report of the battle here:

Einstein's archive is not available online but a search of the archive for "Woman Patriot Corporation" lists a number of documents which attest to the nature of the battle:

Their rather hysterical list of complaints against Einstein however do not seem to have included his treatment of his wife.
