George Sand is the pseudonym of the French novelist and feminist Amandine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, later Baroness Dudevant (July 5, 1804 – June 8, 1876).

Life

---

Born in Paris to a father of aristocratic lineage (a grandson of Maurice, comte de Saxe and a distant relative of Louis XVI) and a "commoner" mother, Sand was raised for much of her childhood by her grandmother at the family estate, Nohant, in the French region of Berry, a setting later used in many of her novels. In 1822, she married Baron M. Casimir Dudevant (1795–1871), and they had two children, Maurice (1823–1889) and Solange (1828–1899). In 1835, taking the children with her, she left her husband.
