of the life of Mary Wollstonecraft  the mother of Mary Shelley  and arguably the world's first

appears normal  and she anticipates being back at her usual occupations before too long.
However  after her baby girl  her second daughter  is delivered  both mother and child will
fight for survival. In that time  Mary weaves the tale of her life to bind her frail daughter
close and to give herself a reason to fight  even as her own strength wanes. Charting the
course of her life across Europe and against the conventions and restrictions of her time. A
life that urgently demanded equality for herself and all women. A life that tempered triumph
with loss.Conjuring the all too brief moment when the stories of influential mother and
daughter overlapped  Love and Fury is a tribute to the power of a woman reclaiming her own
narrative and passing that legacy on to her daughter.
