Provide three thesis statements from chapters 1 through 11 from the book Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft & Mary Shelley

One approach you could take to creating a
thesis about Romantic Outlaws would be to discuss the effects of their
different upbringings on Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft. Chapter 2 says that their
upbringings could not have been more different. Explore the ways that their different
upbringings might have shaped their paths in life. You might say something about Mary
Wollstonecraft feeling invisible in her family and choosing to be bold to get attention while
Mary Shelley was born into an unconventional and bold family.

Another
approach would be to examine Wollstonecraft's theories on women and discuss how Shelley was
shaped by these even after the death of her mother. You could say that despite Wollstonecraft
dying soon after her daughter was born, her influence on her daughter is obvious when examining
Shelley's life that her mother had a profound influence. Evidence for this could include her
bold character. You could draw from Chapter 5 and discuss how Shelley believed she deserved
equal treatment and felt enraged and wronged when she didn't get it when compared to her
stepsister.

You could also write a thesis about Chapters 10 and 11 if you
examine the differences in Wollstonecraft's and Shelley's young adulthood. You could argue that
Wollstonecraft felt more determined to succeed on her own while Shelley had the support of her
husband and Jane as she explored young adulthood. These two chapters include evidence that shows
the differences and similarities between the two women during that time
period.
