After marrying a marquis at the age of eighteen, she proceeded to fulfill the prescribed-and delightfully frivolous-role of a French noblewoman of her time. But she also challenged it, conducting a highly visible affair with a commoner, writing philosophical works, and translating Newton's Principia while pregnant by a younger lover. With the sweep of Galileo's Daughter, Emilie Du Chtelet captures the charm, glamour, and brilliance of this magnetic woman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666714231072,"sku":"NEW0143112686","price":17.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61o-iMfQgjL.jpg?v=1778945862","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/emilie-du-chatelet-daring-genius-of-the-enlightenment-0143112686","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
