The Many Lives of George Eliot
Briefly

...novels that posit marriage as a woman's ultimate aim and achievement only confirm the popular prejudice against the more solid education of women.
Her radical departure from the expected scripts of a 19th-century woman's life made her a pariah in the eyes of many, yet it also spurred her to embrace new literary possibilities.
