Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) - original surname Godwin English Romantic novelist, biographer and editor, best known as the writer of FRANKENSTEIN, OR, THE MODERN PROMETHEUS (1818). Mary Shelley was 21 when the book was published; she started to write it when she was 18. The story deals with an ambitious young scientist. He creates life but then rejects his creation, a monster. "But success shall crown my endeavours. Wherefore not? Thus far I have gone, tracking a secure way over the pathless seas: the very stars themselves being witnesses and testimonies of my triumph. Why not still proceed over the untamed yet obedient element? What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man?" (from Frankenstein Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born in London. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, died of puerperal fever 10 days after giving birth to her daughter. Mary's labor lasted 18 hours and then it took four hours to remove the rest of the placenta.

http://www.pinn.net/~sunshine/march99/wollstn3.html

Extractions: Probably the best known woman who will be discussed in this series, Wollstonecraft wrote on a variety of issues in addition to the rights, wrongs, and education of women including politics, morality, ethics, religion, the care of infants, a travelogue of her trip to Sweden, and the French revolution. She wrote in a variety of genres including letters, essays, poems, novels, and non-fiction books. Scorned in her own day and for generations afterward due to the illigitmacy of her daughter (who would become Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, author of Frankenstein and wife of the poet Shelley), her free lifestyle, and her unorthodox opinions, her Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) is today a feminist classic and she is revered as an early English feminist foremother. In Vindication Wollstonecraft applied the language of the French Revolution to women, scorned the frivilous training of women common in her time, and advocated a real education for women. Here is a short excerpt from chapter 2 of Vindication To account for, and excuse the tyranny of man, many ingenious arguments have been brought forward to prove, that the two sexes, in the acquirement of virtue, ought to aim at attaining a very different character; or, to speak explicitly, women are not allowed to have sufficient strength of mind to acquire what really deserves the name of virtue. Yet it should seem, allowing them to have souls, that there is but one way appointed by Providence to lead mankind to either virtue or happiness.

My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create. Started as a ghost story and inspired by a conversation Shelley had overheard between her husband Percy Bysshe Shelly and Lord George Gordon Byron talking about galvanism, it soon became one of the first best selling works by a female author. Sir Walter Scott mistakenly thought it had been written by Percy, and it received mixed reviews, but today it is still widely read and has inspired various adaptations to the stage and screen. The Gothic movement evolved from Romanticism, delving deeper into profound philosophical questions like the quest of man to achieve perfection, and through a character even at first so disturbing as the scientifically created Creature we ultimately see all of humanitys moral struggles. Shelley adopted much of her father William Godwins philosophical ideas and in

Extractions: GRAVE LOCATION Bournemouth, Dorset: St. Peter's Churchyard In het youth Mary Wollstonecraft lived at Epping and at Beverley, Yorkshire, where she met Jane Arden, with whom she developed a passionate friendship. The family moved to London, Wales and once more London. In 1784 she set up a school at Newington Green together with her sister Eliza. After the school closed in 1786 she worked as a governess for the Kingsborough family at at Mitchelstown, Ireland. She had a child, Fanny, by the American Gilbert Imlay. In May 1795 she tried to kill herself, possibly because she had discovered that Imlay had an affair with another woman. In June 1795 she travelled to Scandinavia, where she stayed for a few months. Back in London she tried to take her life again by jumping from Putney Bridge into the Thames on 10 Oct 1795. She was rescued by an unknown after she had lost conciousness. Mary had first met the filosopher William Godwin in 1791 at Johnson's and in they met 1796 again at Mary Hays'. Her relationship with Imlay had ended by now and she visited Godwin alone on 14 April 1796. In August they became lovers and after she became pregnant Godwin married her, allthough he had been opposed to marriage all his life. She gave birth to their daughter Mary (of later Frankenstein fame), but the mother died ten days later of an infection caused by the unhygienic pratices that were common during childbirth in those days.

Extractions: A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects . Boston: Printed by Peter Edes for Thomas and Andrews, 1792. Long before the women's movement or women's suffrage, there was Mary Wollstonecraft's Rights of Woman . Wollstonecraft was a progressive thinker and an outspoken advocate of the equality of the sexes. Like many pioneers struggling against outdated but dearly held conventions, she suffered much harsh criticism and never lived to see her ideals come to fruition. Always independent, Wollstonecraft had started and operated a school, and then worked as a governess before settling down to a literary career. In 1787, she became literary advisor to the publisher John Johnson of London. During this time she also wrote children's stories, a novel and some translations, and in 1792 Johnson published her now famous Vindication of the Rights of Woman Wollstonecraft's tract, written in simple and direct language, is a declaration of the rights of women to equality of education and civil opportunities, from which "they are unjustly denied a share." This stand provoked a bitter outcry, from which she escaped by going to France to observe the Revolution, and where she remained throughout the Reign of Terror. Later, she met and married the political philosopher, William Godwin, but died soon after giving birth to their daughter, Mary, who later married the poet Shelley and became famous as the author of

http://www.dickinson.edu/~nicholsa/Romnat/mwshelley.htm

Extractions: M ary Wollstonecraft Shelley was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley , and the author of one of the most widely read and often redacted novels of the past two centuries. Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus was born out of a series of conversations she had during the summer of 1816 with Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and Dr. John Polidori. Mary cites conversations between Shelley and Byron about Erasmus Darwin ("they talked about the experiments of Dr. Darwin ") and Luigi Galvani ("perhaps a corpse would be re-animated; galvanism had given token of such things") as sources for her own idea of a reanimated human ("perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth") in her introduction to the 1831 edition of the novel (first edition 1818). When asked to explain why he has created a monstrous life form (one that would eventually destroy him), Mary's Victor Frankenstein offers an explanation based on the concept of "species." "A new species would bless me as its creator," he says to Captain Walton in the opening pages of the novel. Mary clearly sees this attempt to create life as connected to the creation of a species. Of course, Victor does not really create a new species at all; he creates a hybrid, a human being composed of the parts of other humans and other animals, since some of his raw materials come from the "slaughterhouse." Mary's creature presumably lacks a soul, at least in the minds of most of her 1818 readers. But when Victor considers the "race of demons" that might populate the world if he goes through with his plan to create a female companion for the "wretch," he clearly places

When dismissed as a governess, she turned for a time to school teaching, but really wanted to make a living by writing and publishing books, something which first looked possible when books reached larger audiences, because of lower costs.

A little over a century before her, another Englishwoman, Mary Wollstonecraft, declared in her revolutionary book of 1792, ''The Vindication of the Rights of Woman,'' that not only had the time come to begin the long slog to selfdom, freedom, empowerment or whatever current feminist term serves but that she would be the first of what she called, using the language of taxonomy, ''a new genus.''
