Frankenstein’s Mother Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, was born in London, England on August 30, 1797. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was a feminist and she died a few days after giving birth; meanwhile, her father, William Godwin, was a philosopher and political writer. As a child Mary was not educated but she was able to use her father’s library to read (Biography.com 1). When Mary was young, her father got remarried to Mary Jane Clairmont.
