CNN
A first edition copy of the classic novel 'Frankenstein' was sold for $1.17 million, setting a record for the highest price paid for a published work by a woman.
Christie's, which hosted the auction, estimated the book would go for $200,000 to $300,000. But by selling for nearly four to six times as much, the book set a record for the highest price paid for a published work by a woman, according to Fine Books Magazine.
