“While most of Emmy Noether's letters may have been published previously, and naturally many published sources go into the making of this work, the result here is a depiction unique in breadth and depth of Emmy Noether and the communities in which she lived.” (Albert C. Lewis, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2022)“The titles of the nine chapters of the book give a good impression on the wide range of topics covered … . With this book the authors succeed in conveying a feeling for Noether’s way of doing mathematics without going into mathematical details. A deeper insight in different aspects of Noether’s life and work can be found … .” (Andrea Blunck, zbMATH 1479.01001, 2022)“Proving It Her Way is a wonderful general biography of Emmy Noether which provides the reader with an interesting overview of her life, mathematical contributions, and perseverance over discrimination.” (Cynthia J. Huffman, MAA Reviews, July 4, 2021)
