Mary Shelley was born in 1797; she was the only child of Mary Woolstonecraft and William Godwin. Her mother was a feminist and her father was a famous philosopher; her mother died when she was very young.
When Mary was 16 she decided to run away and live with Percy Shelley even though her father never forgave her. She decided to write Frankenstein when she was only 19. When she was 24 Percy drowned leaving her penniless. Mary died of a brain tumour in 1851.
I think Mary decided to write Frankenstein because of all the things that had happened to her (everyone died). Also that she would like to bring someone back to life from her family.
