After early experience as a teacher (see her Thoughts on the Education of Daughters, 1787), Mary Wollstonecraft became literary adviser to Joseph Hohnson, a publisher. Her Original Stories (1791)were illustrated by Blake; ed. E. V. Lucas (1906). A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) argues for equality of education for both sexes and state control of co-education. In Paris in 1792-93 she formed an attachment with Gilbert Imlay, her principles forbidding her to marry. Their daughter, Fanny, has a part in Shelley's story. On discovering Imlay's infidelity, Mary attempted to drown herself in the Thames but was rescued. Imlay deserted her and she returned to work in Johnson's shop, where in 1796 she met William Godwin. The union between these two was regularised by marriage in 1797 in order to safeguard the legal right of a coming child. This was a daughter, Mary, who became Shelley's second wife. At her birth Mrs. Godwin died.
