Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Mary Shelley (1797-1851), born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, was an English novelist who would become one of literature's most influential voices. Born in London to philosophical parents (her mother was the feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft), she is most famously known as the author of "Frankenstein." Despite writing various other works, she chose to publish under her own name rather than a pen name, becoming Mary Shelley after her marriage to the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her name has become synonymous with the birth of science fiction, though her work spans multiple genres. She lived and died in London, where she is buried.
