  Marian Evans [George Eliot] (1819-1880), by Sir Frederic William Burton, 1865
She was born Mary Anne Evans on 22 November 1819 at South Farm on the Arbury estate in the parish of Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire, the third child of the second marriage of Robert Evans (1773–1849), manager of the large estates of the Newdigate family of Arbury Hall.
Mary Ann Evans's piety at the age of twenty was remarkable even in an age of pious evangelicalism among the provincial middle and lower classes.
Mary Ann was left £2000 in trust, a sum which, when invested, would yield about £90 a year in interest, not quite enough to live on without supplementary earnings, but enough to encourage her to consider living independently.

 Learning Commons - What is Culture? - Glossary Item - Mary Anne Evans
Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880) worked for many years as an editor (frequently without compensation) before turning rather late in life to authoring fiction.
Evans used the male pseudonym "George Eliot" because, as an unmarried woman openly living with a prominent married man, her own identity was associated with terrific scandal.
Interestingly, her lover (George Henry Lewes) was much less affected by the scandal, and was able to continue publishing under his own name, a circumstance which reveals a great deal about Victorian cultural standards in regard to gender roles.
