Grete Hermann
Grete Hermann was a German mathematician and philosopher She is noted for her early philosophical work on the foundations of quantum mechanics, and is now known most of all for an early, but long-ignored critique of the no hidden variables proof by
John Von Neumann.
John Bell was inspired by Hermann's argument to develop his famous inequalities theorem and a possible experimental test that would distinguish the angular dependence of a hidden variables theory from quantum mechanics. Specifically, Bell claimed that quantum mechanics should violate his inequalities, and that has been found to be the case by decades of experiments.
