Women writers used to publish their works anonymously due to societal norms that viewed literary pursuits as unfeminine. By concealing their identities, they hoped to be taken more seriously and avoid criticism based on their gender. Publishing anonymously also allowed them to bypass social constraints and have their work judged on its own merits.

Did Mary Shelley's parents and husband and other famous writers for friends or associates influence her own writings?

I believe so. Mary Wollstonecraft was her mother. In that time period, women were seen as only baby making machines. Their works were seen as rubbish and ridiculed. Some were even killed for voicing their views, under the rule of Robespierre. I'm sure that if her mother wasn't brave enough to publish her works, Mary Shelley would never have done it.
