The story of the campaign for a statue of Mary Wollstonecraft in London in honour of the 'Mother' of Feminism combined with a trans-historic biopic play about the dissenting writer.
This book combines Kaethe Fine's play "Wollstonecraft Live!" and the story of the 10-year campaign to raise funds and erect a statue on Newington Green in London, in honour of Mary Wollstonecraft, the "Mother" of Feminism. The unveiling of the sculpture by Maggi Hambling caused controversy with some viewers attempting to cover it up and others praising the originality of the artwork. Fine's play was performed to celebrate the regeneration project and to raise awareness of the campaign for a statue honouring the 18th century radical. The play depicts the shooting of a film about the relationship between Mary Wollstonecraft and the writer William Godwin. Their daughter, Mary, would become the author of a classic: Frankenstein.

Kaethe Fine grew up in New York City and began performing on the streets at age 8 with her girl circus. She attended The New York City High School of Performing Arts and at 15 starred in the feature film The Chosen alongside Robby Benson, Rod Steiger, and Barry Miller. She holds a BFA in Filmmaking from SUNY Purchase, and her short film Clearing, aired on PBS. In her early days she script supervised and coordinated for directors and producers such as Hal Hartley and James Schamus. Her first play Motivation for the Meat of Life was produced in New York City at both the William Redfield Theater and subsequently at HERE, Arts Center. Other plays (A Factor of 2, Zero Point Field and Vows) have been developed in both NY and London in association with The Labyrinth Theater Company, RADA Cafe, La Mama etc. and others. Therapy Rocks, a musical for which she co-wrote the book, was featured in NYMF 2010. Fine has a Masters in Writing for Performance from the University of London's Goldsmiths College. In 2005, she was commissioned by London-based Fragments & Monuments to conceive, write and associate-produce the site specific performance piece, Wollstonecraft Live! and she is currently writing a screenplay about Mary Wollstonecraft.
