"She and He; Lavinia; Memoir" by George Sand is a compilation of stories and personal writings that looks into the author's own life and thoughts during the 1800s. The stories center on ideas of romance, the desire to be free, and how society treats women. It largely follows Aurore Dupin, the writer herself, known as George Sand, and shows her connections with others and her battles against unfairness. The memoir starts by explaining Sand's young years, talking about her family and how she was raised. It shows the tricky relationships within her family, mainly the conflict between her mother and grandmother, which greatly shaped who she became. Her early life, filled with sadness, a strong need to be loved, and the growth of her creative mind, prepares us for her journey to find freedom and understand herself while living in a world that limits women.
