George Eliot (1819-1880) was the pen name of the English writer Mary Ann Evans. She grew up in the countryside and was very close to her older brother Isaac. When she was 16, her mother died and Mary left school to look after her family for the next 14 years. When her father died in 1849, she moved to London, where she organised a magazine and wrote articles for it. Ten years later, the first of her seven novels appeared. A lot of the ideas in The Mill on the Floss (1860) came from her own life.

2. Почему, по-вашему, эта писательница использовала другое имя, когда писала свои книги?

Ответ:

2. I think she used a man's name because, in those days, it was difficult for women to be writers. People might not have taken a woman's novel seriously. Using a male name helped her get published and ensure her work was judged on its own merit, not based on her gender.

(Я думаю, она использовала мужское имя, потому что в те времена женщинам было сложно стать писательницами. Люди могли не воспринять роман женщины всерьез. Использование мужского имени помогло ей опубликоваться и гарантировать, что ее работу будут оценивать по ее достоинствам, а не на основе ее пола.)
