Hello, my name is Mary, Mary Wollstonecraft. I was born in the Spitalfields of London on April, 27, 1759. I have 6 siblings, and I was born to the parents Edward and Elizabeth W0llstonecraft. I grew up in a middle class family, very low middle class. My father was a manager who had high hopes of being rich and successful. He moved us all around England in a series of unsuccessful attempts to make it big. Unfortunately, every move only made my family poorer. My family became bankrupt and we sustained many hardships. These hard times encouraged me to want to be even more successful then I had ever wanted. I have to say, I am, and have always been. very intelligent. As a child, my neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Clare allowed me to use their library and home to study and expand my knowledge. I credit all of my education and intelligence to them.
