George Sand

Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin (1804-1876), later Baroness Dudevant, wrote highly-acclaimed novels and memoirs under the pseudonym George Sand. Her best known works include Indiana, Léila, and Story of My Life. The film Impromptu (1991) with Judy Davis is based on her life. She had two children, Solange and Maurice, and four grandchildren, for whom she wrote What Flowers Say and Other Stories.
