Women in Science: Emilie: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight

Fiercely inquisitive and joyfully sexy, rediscover one of history’s most alluring women, Emilie du Châtelet, as she defends her loves and her life. This 18th century intellectual powerhouse, noblewoman, wife, mother, and lover played by her own rules. As a child, her father said, “My child flaunts her mind and frightens away her suitors.” Upon her death, Voltaire wrote, “she had a soul for which mine was made.” Love or philosophy? How does Emilie sum up life?
