PIPELET, CONSTANCE MARIE DE THEIS,
Was born at Nantes in 1768, of a distinguished family. She married in 1789, M. Pipelet. an eminent surgeon in Paris; and, after his death, she married, in 1802, the Prince de Salm-Dyck. Madame Pipelet devoted herself, when very young, to the study of literature and the arts; and her poems are quite numerous, and almost invariably excellent. She also wrote an opera, entitled "Sappho;" a drama, several romances, and other prose works; and belonged to several academies. Madame Pipelet maintained the theory of the original equality of the sexes; and one of her most elaborate poems is devoted to this subject.
