MARY SHELLEY

Mary Shelley was a famous woman born in London 30th August of 1797 and she died 1st February of 1851. She was an important philosopher, novelist and biographer.

She studied in a private school and when she grew up, she fell in love with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Time passed and after a time, she left the city, although he was married with another woman. They travelled around the world looking for new things, new cultures and new forms to be inspired by anything. Years later, Percy’s wife died and they decided to move again to Sweden. This place inspired her to write her most famous book called Frankenstein.  She moved on again to Italy, where Percy died when he was on the ship because of a storm. She was alone and she dedicated her life to educate her children and to concentrate only in her books. Some years later, she became ill and she died when she was 53; her life was too short.

She was important in our society because of her books. Important people read her books and they took note about them. In this time, women were under-estimated, so they didn’t have importance in the city and it was a good moment to change it. They thought that women could do anything as well as men. This was an important step for women’s right, because it did that some men didn’t think they were the best in the world. In those days, some women wrote books, but they singed with a men’s name because they were afraid of someone killing her or going to prison.
