Born Aurora Dupin, George Sand changed her name to that of a man so that she could write and earn a living during 19th century France, by doing so she made herself as famous for her lifestyle and character as for her writings. Sand is explained as an extraordinarily complex woman who refuses to stay in a box that denies her freedom.

George Sand, born as Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, adopted a male pen name to overcome the gender barriers faced by female authors in the 19th century. By using a male pseudonym, Sand was able to get her works published and taken seriously in a predominantly male-dominated literary world.
