Mary Shelley: Mary was the daughter of political radical William Godwin and feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft and was left motherless at ten days old. After running away at seventeen with her married lover, famous poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, she was cast out of society and rejected by her family. At the age of nineteen, this gifted storyteller poured her early life filled with tragic loss into one of the greatest gothic novels ever written.
