George Sand

Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin was born in Paris on 1 July 1804, the daughter of an officer, Maurice Dupin, and of Sophie-Victoire Delaborde. Raised by her grandmother at the estate of Nohant, in Berry, she married Casimir Dudevant in 1822, from whom she later separated. Settled in Paris in 1831, she took the pseudonym George Sand and adopted men's clothing to move about freely. She was involved with Musset, then with Chopin, wrote in 1848 for the republican government, and died at Nohant on 8 June 1876.
