Produktbeschreibung
Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley released her book Frankenstein in 1818. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who develops an obsession with creating life, is the main character of the narrative. He ultimately succeeds in constructing a creature that resembles a human, but he is appalled by how it looks and gives up on it. The monster becomes furious and tries to end Victor's life after being abandoned by its creator and despised by society. The book examines issues including ambition, the risks associated with scientific research, the effects of seclusion, and the strength of human passion. As one of the first works of science fiction addressing the moral consequences of scientific progress, Shelley's book was revolutionary for its day. It also questioned conventional gender norms since Shelley was a woman who wrote in a profession that was mostly male. Since then, Frankenstein has emerged as a cultural icon and has been portrayed in a wide range of movies, plays, and other media. The book still has an impact on readers today because it poses significant queries about the place of science in society and the effects of our choices.

She convinced her sister Eliza to separate from her husband and their young kid in 1784. Wollstonecraft was introduced to Fanny Blood by the Clares, a Hoxton couple who adopted her as their own. She gave Blood credit for widening her horizons. Original Stories from Real Life, her first children's book, was written by her in 1788. In December 1792, one month before Louis XVI was murdered, she fled for Paris. Instead of radical Jacobins, she made friends with moderate Girondins during her time in Paris. Mary Wollstonecraft was disappointed by how the Jacobins treated women in 1790s France. Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Wollstonecraft's second daughter, was born on August 30, 1797. During delivery, the placenta broke and caught an infection. In the eighteenth century, childbed fever (post-partum infection) was a common and frequently deadly condition. Wollstonecraft died on September 10th, 1797, from septicemia.
