Product Description -
A graphic biography of female novelist George Sand, whose life and work championed women’s rights, gender expression, and sexual liberation A scrupulously researched and tenderly revealing biography of one of the great pioneering figures of 19th-century French literature. 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. But this moving biographical portrait, written by Severine 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 divorcee novelist, but as the brilliant chronicler of her changing time—and therefore of ours.
