The story of a mother and daughter who never met, but whose lives were permanently intertwined. The mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, founder pf the feminist revolution with her epochal VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN, died in childbirth. The daughter, Mary Shelley, lover and finally wife of England's greatest Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and later author herself of the classic FRANKENSTEIN, turned at every crises to her dead mother, seeking the help, advice, and disciplined she imagined Wollstonecraft would have given. A riveting account of love, jealousy and conflict in a peak era of English literature.
