A screengrab from The Guardian about a terrific idea to memorialize Mary Wollstonecraft. She wrote and lived fearlessly, and was ahead of her time by hundreds of years. Today she's more popular and influential than ever, a perfect person to celebrate on International Woman's Day. Do we have a sticker of Wollstonecraft at Literary Locations you can order? Actually, we have two. You can learn more about the statue effort at maryonthegreen.org
Screengrab from The New Yorker. The illustration is by Henning Wagenbreth.
A terrific read about Mary Shelley by Jill Lepore, in which she examines Frankenstein from an American perspective. I have also been learning about this fascinating writer in Richard Holmes's Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer. In 1972, Holmes followed the path of the Shelleys through Italy. It's a brilliant account of his journey and how he grapples to understand their lives and relationships. In This Long Pursuit: Reflections of a Romantic Biographer, Holmes writes about Mary Shelley's mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, with similar insight. Any book by Richard Holmes is well worth picking up, the guy's a genius and a champion of women writers.
At LiteraryLocations.com, we sell both Mary Shelley stickers and Mary Wollstonecraft stickers. We even have one MS in color and a few MWs in color. And we have both in black and white.

143 years after Shakespeare died in 1616, the peevish man who owned his former house in Stratford-upon-Avon was so sick of people wanting to tour it that he had the house pulled down. He was run out of town. The same thing happened to Pope's villa in Twickenham in 1808.

The brilliant author of sublime poems including Ode to a Nightingale, Bright Star! Would I Were Steadfast as Thou Art, and Endymion. Died in 1821, just 26 years old. He asked that his tombstone say only, "Here lies One / Whose Name was writ in Water." But you can writ his name on your car bumper.
