X-WR-CALDESC:True Story Book Club\n\nRomantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Li
 ves of Mary Wollstonecraft & Mary Shelley by Charlotte Gordon (672 pages)
 \n\nThis groundbreaking dual biography brings to life a pioneering English
  feminist and the daughter she never knew. Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Sh
 elley have each been the subject of numerous biographies\, yet no one has 
 ever examined their lives in one book—until now. In Romantic Outlaws\, Cha
 rlotte Gordon reunites the trailblazing author who wrote A Vindication of 
 the Rights of Woman and the Romantic visionary who gave the world Frankens
 tein—two courageous women who should have shared their lives\, but instead
  shared a powerful literary and feminist legacy.\n\nIn 1797\, less than tw
 o weeks after giving birth to her second daughter\, Mary Wollstonecraft di
 ed\, and a remarkable life spent pushing against the boundaries of society
 ’s expectations for women came to an end. But another was just beginning. 
 Wollstonecraft’s daughter Mary was to follow a similarly audacious path. B
 oth women had passionate relationships with several men\, bore children ou
 t of wedlock\, and chose to live in exile outside their native country. Ea
 ch in her own time fought against the injustices women faced and wrote boo
 ks that changed literary history.\n\nThe private lives of both Marys were 
 nothing less than the stuff of great Romantic drama\, providing fabulous m
 aterial for Charlotte Gordon\, an accomplished historian and a gifted stor
 yteller. Taking readers on a vivid journey across revolutionary France and
  Victorian England\, she seamlessly interweaves the lives of her two prota
 gonists in alternating chapters\, creating a book that reads like a richly
  textured historical novel. Gordon also paints unforgettable portraits of 
 the men in their lives\, including the mercurial genius Percy Shelley\, th
 e unbridled libertine Lord Byron\, and the brilliant radical William Godwi
 n.\n
