Often overshadowed by her renowned literary creation, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's own remarkable life story is nothing short of a gripping tale of love, tragedy, and groundbreaking literary achievements.

In the early 19th century, amidst a society that restricted women's roles and ambitions, Mary Shelley defied all odds and emerged as one of the most influential figures in the history of literature. Born into a world of literary brilliance, as the daughter of the prominent feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin, young Mary was destined for greatness.

We uncover her resilience in the face of personal tragedies, including the untimely deaths of her children and tumultuous relationship with Percy Shelley. She went through unimaginable ups and downs, mostly from the ages of 16 to 24!

We also get into the captivating circumstances that led to the conception of Frankenstein, a tale of science, ambition, and the human condition that continues to resonate with readers and scholars worldwide.
