Her Lost Words highlights both women, from their groundbreaking careers to their intimate personal lives. And her daughter, Mary Shelley, wrote one of my favorite classic novels, Frankenstein, an early example of science fiction that continues to be referenced and reimagined to this day. As a feminist, her efforts in the late 1700s unlocked later advancements for women. The former paved the way for women’s rights, declaring our equality to men. I find both Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley to be fascinating and inspiring women. This historical fiction novel follows two famous figures, a mother and daughter, who both left their mark on the world. Today, Stephanie Marie Thornton releases her stunning new book, Her Lost Words: A Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley.
