	Lady Mary Wortley Montagu on Turkey
		Lady Mary was thus well placed to comment on what she saw in Turkey, in the context of what had already been published on the topic.
		That Lady Mary’s bath scene is still critically dominant testifies to the continuing urge for this critical voyeurism (which I am participating in, it seems, by continuing to focus on the scene), especially with its heightened promise not only of a community of women, but a community of naked women.
		Montagu was conscious of her readers throughout the construction of this series of letters, and her rhetorical sense guided much of what she wrote.

	Lady Mary Wortley Montagu in the Hammam
		‘Lady Mary Wortley Montagu in the Hammam: Masquerade, Womanliness, and Levantinization’.
		Montagu's language mimics the traditional masculine gesture of voyeuristic penetration with the gaze, as does Ingres' famous tableau reminiscent of a keyhole voyeur, Le bain turc (1862), heavily influenced as it is by Montagu's account of the hammam.
		Montagu suggests that the total nudity of the women displaces the signs of their psychic readability from the face down to the entire body: "I was here convinc'd of the Truth of a Refflexion that I had often made, that if twas the fashion to go naked, the face would be hardly observ'd" (L, 314).

		Before she married, Lady Mary, who was determined not to be a spinster, shared a secret code with her friend Philippa Mundy, in which the two young women referred to marriage to a man one loved as Paradise, to a man one detested as Hell, and to a man one merely tolerated at Limbo.

	Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley Information on Healthline
		The celebrated eighteenth-century poet Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762), merits a place in public health history for her early advocacy of the practice of smallpox inoculation, which was also called variolation, or ingrafting.
		Sarah Chiswell, a London friend, Lady Mary described the ingrafting procedure, which consisted of taking dried secretions from smallpox blebs, or pustules, and either blowing them into the nostrils or injecting them into a vein or under the skin.
		In the nineteenth century, inoculation was almost entirely supplanted by vaccination after William Jenner discovered in 1798 that immunity to smallpox could be established more safely by using material from the lesions of cows infected with cowpox or vaccinia.

	The Poetry of Anne Kingsmill Finch, Countess of Winchilsea and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
		Throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century Lady Mary Pierrepont Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) was known as an eccentric, a risqué earl's daughter separated from her miser of a husband, both of whom were scourged by Pope.
		Montagu's ferocity and raw depiction of sexual encounter in her verses is matched by Ardelia's depictions of sexual encounter; Finch is by turns sardonic, savage and bitter in many of her fables and songs.
		Montagu suggests the reason a man despises a woman for this kind of behavior is not that the action is a sin, but that she reveals herself to be vulnerable,to be in a weaker position.

	Selected Prose and Poetry of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
		Wortley was recalled due to a change in English relations with Turkey, and the family, with a new daughter (later the Countess of Bute), appeared in London in the fall of 1718.
		Lady Mary, who was forty-seven at this time, did go to the continent, did not manage to settle down with Algarotti or any other lover that we know of, and lived in France and Italy for twenty years without seeing her husband in all this time.
		Lady Mary's daughter had meanwhile married Lord Bute, who became George III's right hand man. It was important to Mary, Countess of Bute, to maintain the utmost propriety in eyes of the world, and the most probable source of any possible embarrassment was her mother.

	Lady Mary Wortley Montague
		Lady Mary's actual correspondence should not be confused with the English literary "epistle," which she also wrote.
		As in Astell's critique of marriage (and the Wife of Bath's), the poem attacks the common male presumption that the female will be a kind of superior sort of servant, and it does so by invoking the Hobbsian notion of justice based on covenants made (19-24).
		Montagu's capacity for deft wit often brings her into collections of "epigrams," short and witty poems treasured for their succinct expression of a just judgment.
