Join Dr. Price Blair, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lynchburg, for a lecture examine Mary Shelley's life that gave rise to the novel Frankenstein. This lecture will examine *Frankenstein* as a story of women’s empowerment, shaped by Mary Shelley’s life and experiences. Shelley, the daughter of famed feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, spent much of her life trying to live up to her mother's legacy. We’ll explore how Frankenstein reflects Shelley’s struggle for identity and independence, focusing on themes like creation, power, and responsibility.
By looking at key moments in Shelley's life, we’ll discuss how the novel can be read as a feminist work that challenges traditional gender roles and highlights women's strength and autonomy.
