Born in 1804--at a time when women were deprived of their civil rights (along with minors, criminals, and the insane)--Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin grew up to defy those norms, both in her life and her writing. Adopting the gender-neutral pen name George Sand, and in a career lasting over forty years as a novelist and playwright, she is best remembered today for the affairs and friendships she enjoyed with men: the composer Chopin; the painter Delacroix; the novelist Balzac. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But this moving biographical portrait, written by award-winner Séverine Vidal and illustrated by Kim Consigny, restores her to the center stage she always commanded in her lifetime. Not just as the daring, scandalously cross-dressing, bisexual, cigarette-smoking divorcée novelist, but as the brilliant chronicler of her changing time--and therefore of ours.","brand":"Kim Consigny, Séverine Vidal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46355418480876,"sku":"9781914224201","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781914224201.jpg?v=1744310933","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/george-sand-true-genius-true-woman","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
