[2][3] She was the author of several textbooks,[4] and her work on sum-free sets became a standard reference for its subject matter.

[5] She helped found several important organizations in combinatorics, developed a researcher network, and supported young students with interest in mathematics.

[7] After moving to Mildura and then returning to Urbana, she completed her doctorate at the University of Illinois in 1966, with a dissertation on group theory supervised by Michio Suzuki.

[2][7][8] In 1999, the Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia gave her their inaugural medal for outstanding service.

[8] The Anne Penfold Street Awards of the Australian Mathematical Society, an initiative to provide family care for traveling mathematicians, are named after her.

Street, is a statistician at the University of Technology Sydney,[1] and the coauthor (with her mother) of a book on the combinatorial design of experiments.
