George Eliot
George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, a prominent English novelist known for her works exploring complex characters and social issues.
"When a homemaking aunt scolds a niece for following her evangelistic passion instead of domestic pursuits, her reply is interesting. First, she clarifies that God's individual call on her doesn't condemn those in more conventional roles. Then, she says she can no more ignore the cry of the lost than her aunt can the cry of her child."
