Life

She was born in Vernon, Normandy in 1634. Her father was the French physician Michel de La Vigne. She died in Paris at the age of 50.[1] She was a friend of Mademoiselle de Scuderi and Marie Dupré.[2]

She belonged to the Academy of the Ricovrati at Padua, Italy[2] (from 1998 called the Accademia Galileiana[3]). In those times, the end of the 17th century, the Academy was one of only a few in Europe that welcomed women as members, although they had no voting rights.

She was distinguished for her poetical talents.[2]

Her ode, entitled "Monseigneur le Dauphin au Roi," obtained great reputation.
