Mother of the author of Frankenstein, this feminist was herself a trailblazer. Name that writer of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

"I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves." The mother of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, was also a writer. Mary Wollstonecraft advocated for equal rights, writing A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792, which argued that if young women were trained and educated as young men and were given the same advantages and opportunities, they would excel professionally – and would be better mothers and wives as well, benefitting society as a whole.
