Quote from Mary Shelley 4

"My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings."

Personally, what Mary Shelley is trying to say here is that she no longer had to dream what she could do with her talent; she could now show it in her books, poems, and other writings. This was mainly due to the restrictions that were current on the 1800's where women could not and were not allowed to do work that men did; it was prohibited for a women to write a book. Women were restricted at home, house wifes and thats it. However, once she sought the chance to write her thoughts on paper it became clear that talent does not come with gender.
