Mary Shelly - Couple of facts

"Shelley’s mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was an influential feminist. Her A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) helped found the modern feminist movement and provided much of its early philosophical foundation." This is stating the initial push of women writers who were talented and ready to share their creativity with everyone. Thanks to her mother she was able to accomplish these goals as well as other goals. Just like Dr Frankenstein, he persevered until he woke the "monster" from his corruption.”

"When she was 16, Mary married Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the greatest Romantic poets of all time. (They eloped.) Percy Shelley was a freethinker and a radical. He helped Mary complete her education...and tried to make her part of a free love community in which several people would share partners."

This is important to know because we can tell that she didn't have much access to information; yet, she was able to cultivate and harvest her ideas which helped her become a very creative and intellect woman.
