George <strong>San</strong>d, a woman, whose real name was Aurore Dudevant, was creating her<br />
own kind of revolution. Having taken on a male alias in order to get her writing published,<br />
she also took on the cause of writing to promote women's emancipation. She had left her<br />
husband and two children in order to seek the freedom to write and live her life as she<br />
desired. She often went to see her husband at his country home, and she also lived in<br />
