Maria, or The Wrongs of Woman, is an unfinished novel by Mary Wollstonecraft, serving as a compelling sequel to her groundbreaking political treatise, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

Three works of fiction, two by Mary Wollstonecraft, and one by her daughter Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein. In Mary Wollstonecraft's Mary, the heroine flees her young husband in order to nurse her dearest friend, Ann, and finds genuine love, while Maria tells of a desperate young woman who seeks consolation in the arms of another man after the loss of her child. And Mary Shelley's Matilda - suppressed for more than a century - tells the story of a woman alienated from society by the incestuous passion of her father.

The chances of Cornish gentlewoman Maria Branwell even meeting the poor Irish curate Patrick Brontë in Regency England, let alone falling passionately in love, were remote. Yet Maria and Patrick did meet, making a life together in the heartland of the industrial revolution. An unlikely romance and novel wedding were soon followed by the birth of six children. They included Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, the most gifted literary siblings the world has ever known. Yet Maria has remained an enigma, while the fame of her family spread across the world.

Bodega Botanica Tales is a short story podcast where ancient myths and modern life collide. Each episode is an original tale inspired by the gossip I heard in bodegas, those times I visited the botánica and the cultural myths and folklore that shaped me. Although many of the tales are rooted in Latinx culture, you don't need to share that heritage to enjoy this podcast. If you enjoyed listening to your family or neighbors discussing traditions, legends or superstitions that made you uneasy, curious, or totally confused, this folklore story podcast is for you.

Story0
Published in 1812, “The Absentee” by Maria Edgeworth examines social injustice in 19th-century Britain. At that time, the management of many Irish estates suffered from the absenteeism of their Anglo-Irish landlords. We meet Lord and Lady Clonbrony. Lord Clonbrony struggles with debt, while Lady Clonbrony tries to shed her Irish connections and earn status in London’s high society (known as “the ton.”) Meanwhile, their son, Lord Colambre, is wary of the entanglements of that society and escapes to the family estate in Ireland, where he discovers the abuses that have arisen in the ...
