Mary Shelley (1797-1851) war eine englische Schriftstellerin, die mit nur 18 Jahren den Roman "Frankenstein" schrieb - eines der einflussreichsten Werke der Literaturgeschichte. Als Tochter der feministischen Philosophin Mary Wollstonecraft und des Aufklärers William Godwin wuchs sie in einem intellektuellen Umfeld auf. Sie heiratete den Dichter Percy Bysshe Shelley und erlebte eine von persönlichen Tragödien geprägte Leben, darunter den frühen Tod mehrerer Kinder und ihres Mannes. "Frankenstein", entstanden während eines berühmten Sommers am Genfer See 1816, begründete das Genre der Science-Fiction und bleibt ihr bleibendes literarisches Vermächtnis.
