About Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) wrote Frankenstein at age 18 during a ghost story competition with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron. The daughter of feminist Mary Wollstonecraft (who died giving birth to her) and philosopher William Godwin, Mary channeled her experiences of creation, loss, and abandonment into literature's first science fiction novel—a warning about innovation without responsibility that grows more relevant with each technological advance.
