| (pseud. of Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin, baronne Dudevant) 1804–76, French novelist. Other variant forms of her maiden name include Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin.… She wrote some 80 novels, which were widely popular in their day, supporting herself and her children chiefly by her writing. Her earlier novels were romantic; later ones often expressed her serious concern with social reform. Her liaisons—with Jules Sandeau, Musset, Chopin, and others—were open and notorious, but were only part of her life. She demanded for women the freedom in living that was a matter of course to the men of her day.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press.
