A young noblewoman refuses to follow the rules of society of 18th-century France, instead dueling with swords, gambling, and running scientific experiments. Her persistence unlocks the impenetrable work of Isaac Newton and helps kick off the Industrial Revolution - but she remains all but forgotten today. This episode tells the astonishing story of polymath Emilie du Chatelet.
