Err Marry Wollestonecraft was Mary Shelley’s mother not the author of Frankenstein…
Mary wasn’t married to Percy Shelley when she wrote Frankenstein, and therefore wasn’t “Mary Wollestonecraft Shelley”.
I chose to use that form deliberately.
If you say so but a quick Google search seems to feel otherwise…
They were married on Dec. 30, 1816, by which time Mary had been working on the novel for at least four months (she finished her draft at the end of March or beginning of April 1817).
I did err in not calling her Marty Wollestonecraft Godwin.
It is a little confusing considering that Mary Wollstonecraft the Elder was a famous author in her own right. Technically her daughter is Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin before her marriage.
