The perception of gender significantly influenced Mary Shelley's life and work, particularly amid the Romantic era's constraints. As a woman in a male-dominated literary landscape, she faced challenges that shaped her personal and creative expressions. The death of her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, a prominent feminist thinker, profoundly impacted her identity and beliefs. Furthermore, Shelley's relationships with influential men, like Lord Byron and her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, provided her with both support and criticism. Gendered expectations contributed to the themes of isolation and identity explored in her seminal work, "Frankenstein," reflecting the complexities of female authorship.
