Description

This book combines Kaethe Fine's play "Wollstonecraft Live!" and the story of the 10-year campaign to raise funds and erect a statue on Newington Green in London, in honour of Mary Wollstonecraft, the "Mother" of Feminism.

The unveiling of the sculpture by Maggi Hambling caused controversy with some viewers attempting to cover it up and others praising the originality of the artwork.

Fine's play was performed to celebrate the regeneration project and to raise awareness of the campaign for a statue honouring the 18th century radical.

The play depicts the shooting of a film about the relationship between Mary Wollstonecraft and the writer William Godwin.

Their daughter, Mary, would become the author of a classic: Frankenstein.
