    "description": "<p>A graphic biography of female novelist George Sand, whose life and work championed women&rsquo;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&mdash;at a time when women were deprived of their civil rights (along with minors, criminals, and the insane)&mdash;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 S&eacute;verine 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 divorc&eacute;e novelist, but as the brilliant chronicler of her changing time&mdash;and therefore of ours.</p>",
