Meet Emilie du Chatelet (see chapter on Energy).
Young French aristocrat from early 18th century. (age of enlightment)
Her translation of Principia (Newton) is still the one used today.
She was the friend and lover of the provocative Philosopher Voltaire
She dared contradict Newton and showed, as suggested by Leibniz,
that the kinetic energy (KE) depends on the speed squared.
She died at 43. (giving birth). She was the only female physicist of her time.
