George Eliot-Novelist
It is never too late to be what you might have been. - George Eliot

Mary Ann Evans (1819–1880) known by her pen name George Eliot, is the author of seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Middlemarch (1871–72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of them set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight.

She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women only writing lighthearted romances. - Wikipedia.
