9. Instead of drinking so early in the day, let's discuss the feminist "ilk" and "ubberclass" of Shelly

It is not my intention to condemn ANYONE for their incomplete, although accurate, posts. Some male friends of Shelly were upper-class buffoons. Others were instrumental in the feminist movement. ALL female friends of Mary Shelly were second class citizens.

Social influences on Mary Shelley (1797-1851) must be taken into consideration, as she tries to express roots of the feminist movement in Frankenstein. Feminist critics viewed the monster of Frankenstein as an image that represents the suppression of women. They also claimed the novel likely expresses Shelley's own feelings and experience towards self-identity and her anxiety as a female writer (Bomarito et al, 2005).

The feminist laced writings of Mary Shelly predates the First Wave Feminist Movement, during the early twentieth century.

The feminist movement (also known as the women's liberation movement, the women's movement, or simply Feminazi, refers to a series of political campaigns for reforms on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women's suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence, all of which fall under the label of feminism and the feminist movement. The movement's priorities vary among nations and communities, and range from opposition to female genital mutilation in one country, to opposition to the glass ceiling in another.
