Voltaire challenged the social norms and greatinjustices of the era, as well as expanding on Newton's Laws. Whenthey ran out of money, Emilie, with her razor-sharp mathematics,would gamble in Versailles. Their progressive thinking won themonly public scorn and even imprisonment in the Bastille forVoltaire. When their love finally ended, Emilie found happiness inan independent life until, tragically, she became pregnant. Then inher forties, it meant almost-certain death in childbirth. Voltairereturned to comfort her in her last months, when she wrote some ofher most important work.
