Episode notes

The Dead Ladies Show is a series of entertaining and inspiring talks about women who achieved amazing things against all odds, presented live in Berlin. This podcast is based on that series. Because women's history is everyone's history. In this episode: FRANKENFRAUEN! We kick off our four-part series of historic women with connection to the iconic gothic novel Frankenstein, in honor of its 100th birthday in 2018. First up, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire tells us about the life of Mary Wollstonecraft. This philosopher and proto-feminist also happens to be the mother of Frankenstein author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.
