QUOTE“If I were king, I would redress an abuse which cuts back, as it were, one half of human kind. I would have women participate in all human rights, especially those of the mind.”Émilie Du Châtelet was a philospher, notable mathematician, and physicist. She was intellectual and ambitious, that's why Voltaire was attracted to her (also because of her beauty). However, she was also femminist. This quote especially shows that she is one since here she states that women should have more rights.
