About Jacqueline Pascal
- Jacqueline Pascal (4 October 1625 – 4 October 1661), sister of Blaise Pascal, was born at Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, France. Like her brother she was a prodigy, composing verses when only eight years old, and a five-act comedy at eleven.
- In 1646, the influence of her brother converted her to Jansenism.
- Then in 1652, she took the veil, and entered Port-Royal Abbey, Paris, despite the strong opposition of her brother, and subsequently was largely instrumental in the latter's own final conversion.
- She vehemently opposed the attempt to compel the assent of the nuns to the Papal bulls condemning Jansenism, but was at last compelled to yield.
- This blow, however, hastened her death, which occurred at Paris on 4 October 1661, the same day she turned 36.
