Mary Shelley (''née'' Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin; August 30, 1797 – February 1, 1851) was an early novelist who is most famous for her novel ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''. ''Frankenstein'' is considered the first real ScienceFiction novel; it was the earliest popular novel whose SpeculativeFiction elements were presented as the results of (implausible) human technology.

She was the daughter of the novelist William Godwin and feminist author Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. The latter was one of the earliest feminists, famous for her work ''The Vindication of the Rights of Woman,'' which is one of the earliest significant modern works in favor of women's rights. She pretty much died giving birth to her daughter (eleven days afterwards, to be precise).
