"i'm just a girl-" mary shelley published frankenstein at twenty.
#mona mona mona#the moral of this is to read frankenstein btw. very happy to spell that out just this once#yes i just read it and yes it's really really good.#keep reminding myself that she was nineteen when she wrote this like fuck me man. it reads so mature.#love it when classics actually hold up! funnily enough it's usually the ones written by women <3#also unrelated but tagging this on anyway - i read maria (the wrongs of woman) last week and while structurally it is. annoying#i'm really impressed by how effectively wollstonecraft elaborates on the ideas from vindication and lets them play out in practice.#(also her rose is lovely and i reckon the structure woild work better if it was finished and the memoir stops taking most of it.#still lovely for what is there)#re shelley i have nothing she's brilliant. the framing the parallels the allegories... good fucking food!
