A “pen name ” is not a writer’s real name. it is a name that a writer chooses.    36    Some writers simply want to hide their real names. Other writers use pen names because they think readers will better accept their writings. So, writers may change their names to be more like what readers expect. Other times, writers use pen names because they write about disputed(有争议的) ideas.  37 

For much of history, most books have been written by men. Often, women’s books were not well liked or popular.  38   When they did publish stories written by women, the stories were usually love stories. But they seldom published women’s stories about culture, politics and social topics.  39 

This was true of Mary Ann Evans. Mary Ann Evans wrote one of the most famous books in the English language: Middlemarch. But Evans’ name does not appear on the book’s cover. Instead, the cover has her pen name on it — “George Eliot.”

   40    Rowling changed her name to hide her sex to sell more books. But Evans used a male name because she did not think people in 19th-century England would listen to her ideas because she was a woman.

Apart from George Eliot and J.K. Rowling, women from all over the world have used male pen names. And today, some female writers continue to use them for the very same reasons.

A. Evans has written a lot of books about culture.

B. Writers use pen names for many different reasons.

D. So, women who wrote about these topics changed their names.

E. For example, some kinds of books are written mostly by one sex.

F. in 19th-century England, many publishers would not consider printing a book written by a woman.

G. Evans used a pen name for a very different reason from the famous writer J.K. Rowling, whose real name is Joanne Rowling..
