Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Oh! Be men, or be more than men. Be steady to your purposes and firm as a rock. This ice is not made of such stuff as your hearts may be; it is mutable and cannot withstand you if you say that it shall not.

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Mary Shelley
