I didn't realise this was a thing, do people really think Mary Shelly wasn't the first SciFi author? 🤔

1. When Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1818 (aged 19), neither Jules Verne, nor Welles were born yet (Allan Poe was 9). A teenage girl wrote what is still considered today the 1st science fiction novel. This article continues the long tradition of erasing her. Article by New York Times Books: With Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback, H.G. Wells invented the genre of science fiction.
