Aaron Burr on Mary Shelley

Today is Mary Shelley's birthday. Remembered today as the author of Frankenstein, she didn't exactly spring fully made out of nowhere, catapulting into eternal fame. Long before she eloped with the poet Shelley, she was known as the daughter of Williiam Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, an Anarchist who married a proto-feminist.

The story of how Mary Shelley came to be Mary Shelley, is told in Theodosia and the Pirates, and it is narrated by none other than Aaron Burr.
