• Her reputation grew as she progress threw her work
• She had her first piece of work when she arrived in Gottingen
• Her work led to formulations to Einstein work
• She helped edit the, Mathematische Annalen
• She was Jewish so her mathematic accomplishments didn’t matter because the Nazi took over in 1933
