What makes a woman free? Starting with Mary Wollstonecraft's ground-breaking feminist text, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), and moving into a radical re-imagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), through to the contemporary world of AI, Linda Marshall Griffith's drama asks what would happen if a woman created a woman?

In her powerful three-part drama, Linda Marshall Griffiths explores women's rights and the impact of AI through the story of Lizzie (Lydia Wilson), who is creating a virtual world centred on the 18th Century author, Mary Wollstonecraft. After divining Lizzie's presence, Wollstonecraft invites her to come with her to Norway, moving the drama into a fascinating reimagining of Frankenstein, the novel written by Wollstonecraft's daughter, Mary Shelley.
