Lady Mary Wortley Montagu

    Lady Mary Wortley Montagu was an English aristocrat and writer, now chiefly remembered for her letters, particularly those from Turkey. These letters have been described as “the very first example of a secular work by a woman about the Muslim Orient.” Her writings offer a unique perspective on the culture and society of her time from a viewpoint that was unusual for the era.
