Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was an English novelist best known for her groundbreaking work 'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus,' which is often considered one of the earliest examples of science fiction. The daughter of feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, Shelley wrote 'Frankenstein' during a time of great social and scientific upheaval, reflecting the themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of man's quest for knowledge. She faced personal tragedies, including the loss of her mother during childbirth, and her legacy continues to influence literature and popular culture.
