And, I seem to vaguely remember something about how she was
quite the mathematical whiz.  Didn't she also have some kind
of relationship with Turing (of Turing test fame)?  Don't some
claim she is responsible for the birth of the computer, something
about binary, or hex or something?  A women back then just simply
wasn't taken seriously.  (Why else would George Sand use a man's
name?)
