Dupuy was born in Pithiviers in Loiret and graduated with a law degree. Aged 22, she joined the forces of Free France, serving as an ambulance driver. After World War II, Dupuy met Georges Pompidou, and became his cabinet chief when he was named prime minister of France in 1963. She maintained the same role when he became president of France in 1969. When Pompidou died in 1974, she left the executive and became the first woman named to the Conseil d'État, France's highest court. ==References==
