Mary Anne Evans was a free thinker. She didn't fell the pressure to be a Victorian women like other women in this time. She wanted to feel obligated to be a wife, house keeper or mother. She showed other women that you didn't have to go long with everything that people said and done or be like everybody else.

so to sum up George Eliot was a dirty slag.

Mary Ann Evans changed her name to George Eliot to ensure her works were taken seriously in the male-dominated literary world of the 19th century. By adopting a masculine pseudonym, she believed her writing would be judged on its own merits rather than dismissed because of her gender.
