Émilie du Châtelet helped reshape Enlightenment science and challenged gendered exclusion. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we explore du Châtelet’s thought, legacy and archival traces in conversation with author Andrea Brill.

For centuries, church history has been told as if only a few voices mattered — and most of them were male. Countless women*’s lives and contributions remain hidden in archives, reduced to footnotes, or overwritten by later interpretations that say more about their interpreters than about them. What happens when we begin to read this history differently and ask not only who is remembered, but who has been made invisible?
