Write a paragraph on George Sand’s influence for social change in regards to women’s freedoms.

Sand was born in 1804 in Paris, but very soon after moved in with grandmother in Nohant, France, after her father passed away. She was then sent to a convent in 1817 where she lived until she married a man named Casimir Dudevant in 1822.

It seems that Sand was never made for married life, and after just 1 year of marriage began to look elsewhere for love and satisfaction. She soon began an affair with her neighbor.

In 1831, Sand left her husband and 2 children in Nohant and moved to Paris. Although she wasn’t officially separated from her husband until 1835, after moving to the capital, she soon began to have many affairs.

Sand was also one of the rare women of the 19th century that wore men’s clothing! In France at the time, if you were a woman that wanted to dress like a man, you were required to apply for a special permit.

Reasons for applying could range anywhere from health reasons to recreational reasons (it’s pretty difficult to ride a horse while wearing a skirt!). Sand ignored the fact that she needed a permit and dressed like a man anyways. She also smoked tobacco in public, something that no women at the time did.

As you can imagine, Sand received a lot of backlash for her choices. Women didn’t have many rights in the mid 19th century, and so it was shocking to see someone like Sand who just didn’t care about social and gender norms. However, Victor Hugo can be quoted as saying,

“George Sand cannot determine whether she is male or female. I entertain a high regard for all my colleagues, but it is not my place to decide whether she is my sister or my brother.” – Victor Hugo

Thankfully, she was accepted by some of her peers!
