What a brave man she was, said novelist Ivan Turgenev, and what a good woman. French writer and feminist Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, Baroness Dudevant, aka GEORGE SAND (1804-1876), smoked in public and dressed like a man, carried on scandalous romantic affairs and was an intimate of Chopin and Flaubert...and wrote some of the most intriguing works of 19th-century French literature: novels, plays, autobiographies, literary criticism, and political treatises. This three-volume 1886 collection of her correspondence sheds light on her personality, morality, and ideas on religion, all of which molded the philosophies on women's sexuality and women's freedom that she is famous for today, and aids a deeper understanding of her work and her place in the history of feminism. Volume II covers the period of the late 1840s through the mid 1860s, and includes rich details of Sand's involvement in the Republican movements of the day, the story of her life in starving-artist straits, her thoughts on life and art, and much more, offering enthralling insight into the philosophy of a woman whose influence is still felt today.
