A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Dumée, (Jane)
DUMÉE, (JANE) a celebrated Parisian Astronomer, of the seventeenth Century,
Was married very young, and became a widow at the age of seventeen. Nothing now prevented her from delivering herself up to the study of astronomy, which she did with such success, that she published a work, in 1680, respecting the opinions of Copernicus, which was executed with precision and elegance, as well as force of reasoning.
