Conclusion
In conclusion, Emilie lived a fulfilling life the way she wanted to. She
wasn’t the typical young woman of France, but her scientific
achievements make up for that. If she had not lived such a short life,
she probably would have made more shocking discoveries that would
have fueled the minds of scientists that followed her work.
