Eileen O'Shaughnessy married George Orwell in 1936 and became Eileen Blair, his real name. She was a woman who won a scholarship to Oxford, published a dystopian poem, asked for "obey" to be removed from her wedding vows, and supported him in his writing. She died in 1950, after years of ill-health and a hysterectomy. She was also a remarkable person who was forgotten by Orwell and by history.
