From the number of published articles, it seems your wife was in STEM? Engineering Ph.D.s publish a lot of papers but they contribute little to each, because there are often tens of co-authors. Not to downplay your wife's achievement, but pointing out #papers is not that informative.

Come on! 20 publications in STEM by age 28 is massively impressive regardless of field. Admittedly it's not the US, but I've found one study that suggests a publication rate of 0.52 article equivalents per year for women PhD students in engineering and technology: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S175115771...
First author publications. She’s an Ivy grad. Obviously I am biased, but she isn’t really slacking mate.
