This fails to mention that she was teaching in the US at some liberal arts college for women (Bryn Mawr) from 1933 (edit: nevermind i just missed the mention in the article).

Can you imagine going to some random college, and then finding out that your professor is "the most important women in the history of mathematics" (to quote Einstein)? Crazy.

I think it does several public figures of that time (Einstein, Hilbert and others) much credit that they kept pushing against established norms and conservative minds of that time which tried really hard to keep Noether out of mathematics and education.
