Abstract
Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley are arguably the most important female writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, while Wollstonecraft is one of the most significant contributors to the women’s rights movement, with some of her ideas expressed in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman being referenced in the modern-day laws about the rights of women. This paper will analyze the life and work of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley, focusing mostly on their most famous and most significant works, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus, respectively. Furthermore, it will analyze the position of women through the biographies of both writers and the autobiographical elements in their works, as well as through the analysis of the female characters in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus as a representation of more or less typical women of the time. Finally, it will search for and analyze the influence of Mary Shelley’s mother’s works and ideas on her writing in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and her work in general. The aim of this BA paper is to analyze the position of women in society and literature through the above mentioned aspects of the life and work of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley and to prove the importance of both of these authors, but especially Wollstonecraft, in the female struggle for obtaining the most basic human rights and the still persisting fight for gender equality.
