Emmy Noether was also recently the subject of In Our Time, a fantastic BBC roundtable discussion program. She seems to have had a remarkable skill for invariants and finding symmetries in complex math, perhaps even some kind of intuition that allowed her to make incredible leaps in different academic areas around the topic. She played a crucial part in helping Einstein and Hilbert lay the groundwork for the theory of general relativity, as well as making significant advances in abstract algebra. The scope of her contributions is only recently starting to be truly appreciated and I would highly recommend listening to the show.
