Sand, George (1804–1876)
French author. Her prolific literary output was often autobiographical. In 1831 she left her husband after nine years of marriage and, while living in Paris as a writer, had love affairs with Alfred de Musset, Chopin, and others. Her first novel Indiana (1832) was a plea for women's right to independence.
| Her other novels include La Mare au diable/The Devil's Pool 1846 and La Petite Fadette/The Little Fairy 1848. In 1848 she retired to the château of Nohant, in central France. |
