About the author
Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin; (1 July 1804 – 8 June 1876), best known by her nom de plume George Sand, was a French novelist and memoirist. Sand's reputation came into question when she began sporting men's clothing in public, which she justified by the clothes being far sturdier and less expensive than the typical dress of a noblewoman at the time. In addition to being comfortable, Sand's male dress enabled her to circulate more freely in Paris than most of her female contemporaries, and gave her increased access to venues from which women were often barred, even women of her social standing. Also scandalous was Sand's smoking tobacco in public; neither peerage nor gentry had yet sanctioned the free indulgence of women in such a habit, especially in public. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
