Ok so... Mary Shelley... at 19 in 1816... starts to write the worlds most iconic horror story... wow ! Brillliant, despite being married to equally brilliant and ooops, GAY Percy Bysshe Shelley , the genius Romantic poet , she pretty much foreshadowed the eventual controversial gene/ stem cell-esque science etc. nearly 200 YEARS away... hardly schooled but was the daughter of Mary Wolstencraft , feminist & William Godwin , philosopher , she hung with her parents peeps.... the likes of Samuel Taylor Coleridge & one of my favorites genius poets, William Wordsworth ! It was on holiday in Italy that Lord Byron challenged Percy and Mary & a few others to write a ghost story...... hence FRANKENSTEIN was born !
