Mary Wollstoncraft Shelley was born in 1797 in London, England. She attended school, unlike most girls at that time. When she was seventeen, she married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and started writing her first novel, Frankenstein. It was inspired by a nightmare. She finished it when she was twenty-one and published the book anonymously. A few years later, it was published under her name. She wrote several other novels and short stories before she died in 1851.
