I'm not a mathematician by any stretch, but am a reasonably well-qualified geek. I've run across Sirpinski, Voronoy, Hilbert, Nash, and quite a few other mathematicians in my day (mostly on account of being a bit of a Mandelbrot groupie as a teenager -- I met him once after a lecture, and he seemed baffled by the existence of teenaged groupies...) -- but I've never run across Noether before. She sounds pretty incredible, and I'm grateful to have read this article.

I'm sure you're correct that mathematicians will never be truly "famous" amongst the general public, except to the extent that they're played by Russel Crowe. But my own experience would suggest that Noether could use a bit more exposure within the non-mathematician general-purpose geek populace.
