Mary Shelley and the Monster (ep 6.5)

from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts

Frankenstein is an instantly recognizable icon. This week I tell you the story of the woman behind the monster. Mary Shelley achieved only moderate success in her lifetime, but since that time has been called the mother of science fiction, and also of horror, and even the wicked stepmother of genetic engineering.
