A French novelist, a prolific writer, expressing in her works a deep concern for human problems and strong feminist ideals was born on 1 July 1804, in Paris. Her father was a French army officer named. She became celebrated for her writings. Sand's novels were widely read in her time and were a strong influence on young writers. She wrote her first two novels in collaboration with the French novelist Jules Sandeau. They were published under the name Jules Sand, which suggested the pseudonym she adopted for her next work, Indiana (1832). Her writings generally are divided into four periods. The novels of the first period (1832-1836) were idealistic and romantic, typical examples being Valentine and Lelia. They, like Indiana, exalted free love unhampered by conventional marriage. The second period (1840-1848) was devoted to such novels as Consuelo (1842), in which she expounded socialistic and humanitarian ideals. After the Revolution of 1848, she retired permanently to her country house at Nohant, where she wrote the novels of her third period (1848-1860), concerned with country life and the peasants. Her last novels, which returned to wider social considerations and were judged among her best, include Le Marquis de Villemer (1861) and Mlle. de Quintinie (1863). She also wrote her autobiography, Histoire de ma vie (1854-1855; Story of My Life).
She died on June 8, 1876.
