Emmy Noether taught at Bryn Mawr College until her death in 1935. Teaching at a women’s college was very different for Noether. For the first time, she had colleagues that were women. Anna Pell Wheeler, another woman mathematician, was the head of the department at Bryn Mawr, and became a great friend of Noether. Wheeler understood about how Emmy had to struggle to have a career in mathematics in Germany, and about being uprooted from her homeland. Noether was still a caring and compassionate teacher. She kept up her charismatic teaching style, often lapsing into German if she was having trouble getting her ideas across to the students. Noether’s death in 1935 surprised nearly everyone, as she had told only her closest friends of her illness. Read more about me.
