THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY
OF MADAME LAVOISIER
-
- Last October, Jean-Pierre Poirier has
published the first biography of Madame Lavoisier (1758-1836).
Born Marie Anne Paulze, the daughter of a farmer general, she
married Lavoisier when she was 13 years old. She never had any
child but, during 22 years, was secretary and assistant to her
husband. Talented for public relations, she helped him in the
triumph all over Europe of the chemical revolution. Pierre Samuel
Du Pont de Nemours, her lover, gave here a taste for political and
economic ideas. Imprisoned during the terror, she escaped
guillotine.
- In 1805, she married count Rumford but
could not achieve with him the same sort of happy couple that she
previously had with Lavoisier.
- The aim of this book is to give an
accurate evaluation of Madame Lavoisier's talents as chemist and
to define her real contribution to the chemical revolution.
