Description
Frankenstein, considered the world’s first science fiction novel, was written by a 19-year-old woman named Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley. But the story of how she came to write such a powerful, gripping, seminal novel reveals the painful struggle of a brilliant and rebellious mind. Born of two idealistic and revolutionary parents, Mary rebelled against English social norms to have a relationship with romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Mary’s life experiences add up to “a dark and stormy night” when a story born on a dare liberated her genius. Registration is required, but a Batavia Public Library card is not required for this free event.

I am so thankful that a few of my fellow Batavian’s recommended the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to me. Since I joined I feel as though I have been blessed with a second family with all the support and motivation I get from them on a regular basis. Margaret, Patti and Shirley are the most amazing women. They have great passion for business and helping people. I truly feel they care about my business on a personal level and want to see it grow and succeed as much as I do! They have gone the extra mile to get my name and my business name out there and introduce me to the business community. The Chamber has so many opportunities available that have helped my business both grow and problem solve such as the free monthly Networking It events. I highly recommend the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to all business professionals.
