After having Bolivian lunch (fried chicken steak, yucca cheese balls, etc. I went watching an intriguing play at Gunston theater in Arlington: "Emilie: La Marquise Du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight".
Emilie du Châtelet, an 18th century noblewoman who’s whip-smart with numbers and natural laws, was born too early for her society to appreciate her brilliance. She was described as "a great man whose only fault was being a woman."
The play writer brilliantly told Emilie's at the moment of her death as flashbacks of key moments of her life which added up together her body, mind, and soul.
