Madame Émilie du Chatelet-Lomont was a mathematician, physicist and author. Einstein's famous equation for the energy of matter E=mc2 fits neatly with a principle recognised by Madame de Chatelet 150 years before Einstein in her book Institutions de Physique (“Lessons in Physics”), which she had prepared for her 13 year old son as a "Cliff Notes" study of the newest ideas of the time. She was also great friends with Voltaire, (with her husband's blessing) and translated Newton's Principia into French.
