Emmy Noether, whom some consider the "Mother of Modern Mathematics," continues to shape modern research and the studies of mathematicians today; including research into the investigation of airplane crashes. Invited to Göttingen by Hilbert, Emmy Noether was denied a teaching post simply because she was a woman. For four years she lectured under Hilbert's name rather than her own, as she was not permitted to teach officially. When the faculty objected, Hilbert famously responded: "I do not see that the gender of the candidate is an argument against her admission. We are a university, not a bathing establishment."
