2 female GEORGE authors in literary history
George Sand and George Eliot are both Female.
George Eliot is well known for her books 'Middle March', 'Silas Marner', 'Adam Bede', 'The Mill on the Floss' and more.
George Sand, in addition to her inflamatory writings was well known for cross-dressing, cigar in her hand, and men she kept that included famous Alfred de Musset and Frédéric Chopin.
Both of them drew my attention for their need to rebel as much as their novel. Perhaps their life choices at times seem more shocking and attention grabbing than their fiction.
I've read most of George Eliot's, and none of George Sand, yet.
