Today is the death anniversary of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797 - 1851). I've posted about her previously, but I think it's important to honor death anniversaries. Birthdays are great and all, but you're just honoring someone before they accomplished anything in life. Celebrate the birthdays of the living, but once they get a deathday, that takes precedent.
For our purposes, the most important things you need to know about Shelley are that she wrote Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus and she carried around the heart of her dead husband (Percy Bysshe Shelley) after he died at age 29 for the rest of her life.
Raise a glass of claret to Shelley today.
The Shelleys and their crowd were the romantic punks of their day. Dress appropriately in her honor.
