Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft & Mary Shelley by Charlotte Gordon

This is an interesting biography that compares the lives and works of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley by alternating chapters. It is definitely worth checking out if you're interested in late 18th and early 19th century literature and the start of the women's rights movement. I was only vaguely familiar with both women before going in, and this book gave a good overview while focusing mainly on how Mary Wollstonecraft affected her daughter Mary Shelley, even though they never really got to know each other. Overall this is a good all encompassing book if you're vaguely interested in both women, and a good jumping off point if you'd like to do further research.
