Wollstonecraft was an advocate of women’s rights and is considered one of the forerunners of feminism.

Mary Shelley, who wrote “Frankenstein,” also spent time in the park, where her mother, the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, was buried before her remains were relocated.

Again, perhaps Mary Shelley had a similar upbringing to Mary Wollstonecraft.

Silva succeeds in making Wollstonecraft — the critic, novelist, translator, trailblazing feminist and the mother of Mary Shelley, the author of “Frankenstein” — a vibrant and forceful personality, full of both love and fury.

When it was unveiled the silvered-bronze sculpture came in for criticism, partly from those who felt there was no need to depict Wollstonecraft naked.
