George Sand and Her Times : The Life of the Heart - Frances Winwar (used)

Paperback. Lancer Books. 1945. OK condition, yellowed pages.

George Sand was a trousers-wearing, cigar-smoking feminist, darling of the publishing world, friend of Balzac, Hugo, Flaubert, Mistress of De Musset and Chopin - and is as intriguing now as she was electrifying to her contemporaries. Obsessed by the idea that all women are slaves, she wished to escape from her destiny, and set the example for the still restless woman of today.
