	abstract = {<p>Though most historians remember her as the mistress of Voltaire, Emilie Du Ch telet (1706-49) was an accomplished writer in her own right, who published multiple editions of her scientific writings during her lifetime, as well as a translation of Newton{\textquoteright}s\&nbsp;Principia Mathematica\&nbsp;that is still the standard edition of that work in French. Had she been a man, her reputation as a member of the eighteenth-century French intellectual elite would have been assured.</p>

<p>In the 1970s, feminist historians of science began the slow work of recovering Du Ch telet{\textquoteright}s writings and her contributions to history and philosophy. For this edition, Judith P. Zinsser has selected key sections from Du Ch telet{\textquoteright}s published and unpublished works, as well as related correspondence, part of her little-known critique of the Old and New Testaments, and a treatise on happiness that is a refreshingly uncensored piece of autobiography-making all of them available for the first time in English. The resulting volume will recover Ch telet{\textquoteright}s place in the pantheon of French letters and culture.</p>
