Victoria Frankenstein is a brilliant, visionary young woman. It’s the height of the Romantic Age, a time when old orders begin to crumble and everything seems possible. Provided of course that you are an English man. Women are not allowed to study medicine in England, so Victoria travels to Ingolstadt, Bavaria, to fulfill her destiny and become Dr. Frankenstein. Victoria’s experiments lead her to the very brink of human knowledge, the secret of life itself. Selma Dimitrijevic’s Dr. Frankenstein is based on the novel Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.
