Born on a farm in Warwickshire, she used many of her real-life experiences in her books, which she wrote under a man's name in order to improve her chances of publication.
She defied convention by living for many years with George Henry Lewes, a writer, who died in 1878. After this she married a man twenty years younger than her, but herself died a few months later. Her works include:
- Middlemarch (published 1871)
- The Mill on the Floss (1860)
- Adam Bede (1859)
- Silas Marner (1861)
- Daniel Deronda (1876)
