L’art au service du génie féminin, chez George Sand

Abstract

George Sand remains a modern writer who entirely rejects the idea that a woman does not have the same mental skills as a man. The latter, and according to modern Sandian thought, must stop taking himself for the master of society and stop his misogyny which completely refuses to admit the feminine genius. In fact, for a long time, it was strongly believed that women are incapable of creating. She can only imitate male role models. There, the Sandian thought thwarts this macho spirit and manages to prove the opposite. His heroines are often endowed with real creative power. They do not attach too much importance to the ambient atmosphere which tries relentlessly to take away their self-confidence. Nothing stops them in their quest for social success, especially since they are, like George Sand, perfectly capable of innovating. An innovation that displays unique features within the Sandian universe.
