Émilie du Chatelêt

This post refers to or was inspired by this.
It's stories like this that got me interested in science as a kid.

From the truly delightful PBS/NOVA edu-doc, Einstein's Big Idea.

A segment on Émilie du Chatelêt, one of the great minds of the Enlightenment... the first to make a chink in Newton's armor... and a woman a few centuries ahead of her time.

Part 1


Part 2
