B319th

George Sand was an English writer if the 19th century who caused a lot of controversy about her person. She took a man’s name fairly early in her life and during her life managed to be arrested multiple times. Her writing was powerful in that it asserted the woman’s role in the new industrial age. She herself stood up for women’s independence by cross-dressing and partaking in things commonly considered “un-lady-like” such as smoking in public.
