Mary Shelley brought Frankenstein to life at just 19 years old. In a previously unpublished story, Virginie Girod tells you the story of this woman of letters like no other.

Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born out of wedlock in London in 1797. First published anonymously, what became a novel was only attributed to Mary Shelley in 1823. Long reduced to the wife of the poet Percy Shelley, it would take almost two hundred years so that his literary genius is recognized at its true value.
