# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil was born 1 July 1804 and grew up admiring her great-grandmother Louise Dupin, an earlier advocate for women. She took the pen name George Sand and by the 1830s had become one of the most recognized writers of the European Romantic era, more renowned in Britain than Victor Hugo or Honoré de Balzac. Across 70 novels plus over 50 volumes of tales, plays, political texts, and memoirs she criticized marriage, championed passion and women's rights, and fought the prejudices around her. Her turbulent love life and her choice to dress in masculine clothing made her a scandal. She died 8 June 1876.
