Answer: These are all female writers with male pen names.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the past, writing was a profession reserved for men. In order to avoid gender-based prejudices, women often hidden their true identities, typically by inventing male pen names.

George Eliot is a pen name for Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880), an English writer, poet, journalist and translator from the Victorian era. Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym invented and used by J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter novel series. Currer Bell is a pen name of Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855).
