Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de 
Breteuil, marquise du Châtelet (17 
December 1706  -- 10 September 
1749) 
was a French mathematician, 
physicist, 
and author during the Age of 
Enlightenment. Her crowning 
achievement is considered to be her 
translation and commentary on Isaac 
Newton's work Principia 
Mathematica. 
The translation, published 
posthumously in 1759, is still 
considered the standard French 
translation.
