HAPPY 222ND BIRTHDAY, MARY SHELLEY!


This week seemed to turn into a female-centered series of postings since Monday, which was Women's Equality Day. Never let it be said the MMW doesn't recognize women as having an important role in the field of horror.

It seems like fitting close to the festivities to celebrate the 222nd birthday of Mary Shelley, an original feminist, liberal, radical, anarchist, home-wrecker, counter-cultural icon, and, oh, the writer of "Frankenstein".

Happy Birthday, Mary!

NOTE: The portrait shown above is by Richard Rothwell, who painted it in 1840.
