«Emilie, Emilie» is the historical essay by Élisabeth Badinter, published by Flammarion-Pere Castor in paperback (467 pages, in French).
Élisabeth Badinter analyses female ambition in the eighteenth century through two figures: Madame du Châtelet, companion of Voltaire and translator of Newton, and Madame d'Epinay, friend of Grimm and author of a pedagogy critical of Rousseau. Both defied the restrictions of their era and embody two models of ambition: the personal and the maternal.
