Mary Shelley is the daughter of Mary Wollstone. From what I understand she was influenced by the scientific revolution specifically the use of electostimulation on dead specimens which seemed to come alive (we had no idea that the body used electricity to move), and also by a nightmare where she dreamed of the monster. Her mother died just after her birth so she would not have known her directly.
