Mary Shelley (née Godwin) (30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851), the daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft and husband of Percy Bysshe Shelley, was the author of Frankenstein, which was the beginning of two entire genres of fiction, horror and science fiction. Shelley authored the classic novel when she was nineteen years old.

She also authored the little known Nights Breeze which was published posthumously in 1856. It was much less of a science fiction novel than Frankenstein, but it had a similar theme: the evils that result when scientists ignore moral considerations in their experiments.
