She was taught Latin, Italian, Greek, rhetoric, poetics and philosophy. Dupré studied Descartes and had a quick wit. Her ability to argue her point with such application garnered her the nickname "La Cartésienne". Dupré was friends with Madeleine de Scudéry and Anne de La Vigne. She spoke good Italian and wrote French verse. Dupré is the author of the Responses of Isis to Climene from the Collection of verses published by Dominique Bouhours.
