Cynthia Hart’s Reviews > The Private Secretary > Status Update

French culture & mores woven into surreal portraits of characters' moving toward empowerment and freedom within contexts of educational influences.

Sands work was banned for 100 years after her death. For women's rights and equality this erasure from history and collective psyche was like murder of MLK. George Sand was the most prolific playwright of her day. Her prodigious output and vast contributions to humanity today are little known.

It seems to me Princess Cavalcani is Sand, as well as her great (step) grandmother M. Louise Dupin, and a surreal compilation of multiple female owners of The Chateaux Chenonceau know as "the Woman's Chateaux." Secretary character based in part on a young JJ Rousseau's infatuation with M. Dupin prior to his writing career. Explores themes related to equality and degenerative influences of church on #metoo.
