The nation's finance were in disarray, and there was a wide gap in wealth distributions among the population. Society was divided into three factions: the clergy, the nobility, and the third estate. In general, women had far less access to education unless they were from very wealthy families. Most women were encouraged to focus primarily upon marriage and managing households. French style had overtaken Europe during this era. France's main competitor at the time was England, and the two empires engaged in several wars over this century.

Voltaire has acknowledged Émilie du Châtelet's significant contribution to his book, Eléments de la philosophie de Newton, written in 1738. They had a longtime affair and often worked together, living in her husband's home in Cirey. Voltaire taught Émilie du Châtelet English in 3 weeks. Voltaire wrote in his memoire, “I found, in 1733, a young woman who thought as I did, and who decided to spend several years in the country, cultivating her mind.” The pair spent 15 years together, and during this time, each wrote some of the most influential scientific works of the Enlightenment.

	In 1740, she published her Institutions de Physique (The Foundations of Physics), which was intended to act as a physics textbook for her son. In fact, it was a forward-thinking and original work. A second edition was published in 1742 under a new title, Institutions Physique. In this text, Émilie provided a metaphysical explanation for Newtonian physics. The work of Leibnizian and Wolffian heavily influenced this particular work. This work sparked a debate on with Jean-Jacques Dortous de Mairan.
