From wikipedia:
Jacqueline Pascal (October 4, 1625–October 4, 1661), sister of Blaise Pascal, was born at Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, France.

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. 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 the 4 October 1661.
