	Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, 1689-1762
		Mary felt a terrible and uneasy pleasure, as though somehow she was engaged in a daring and dangerous rebellion against her father.
		There was nothing to distinguish the Wortleys at all sharply from the other suitably well-bred families that Mary knew; but somehow she felt that they were all, in a quite unintelligible way, very alien and dark and exciting.
		Through the lion was a sadly un-leonine man in a skin, the sharp-eyed Mary was amused to see that Nicolini's paucity of attire gave no offense to, but rather interested, ladies who to her knowledge were prudish to a degree and cried out at the things the play-writers put in the mouths of the players.

	Lady Mary Wortley Montagu in the Hammam
		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).
		Montagu inoculated her son, and subsequently her daughter, even while she was the object of antifeminist public polemics resulting from her sponsorship of the technique.

	Mary Wortley Montagu, Lady Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Academically inclined, Montagu devoured the many volumes of classics and contemporary literature available to her as the daughter of a member of the landed gentry, and also taught herself several languages, including Latin, with the encouragement of an uncle and Bishop Burnet, a family friend.
		Edward Wortley Montagu, a Cambridge graduate who had been called to the bar in 1699, was at first impressed by Mary's ability to quote Roman poet Horace; as the couple's letter-writing continued, that respect ripened into love.
		Unfortunately, Montagu's personal diary was burned by her daughter in 1794 due to concerns that its nature would reflect poorly on the daughter's own social standing in the court of George III.

	Lady Mary Wortley Montagu on Turkey
		In 1717, she accompanied her husband, Edward Wortley Montagu, on a two-year visit to Turkey, where he was posted as ambassador extraordinary for the British government and a representative of the Levant Company.
		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.
		Montagu was conscious of her readers throughout the construction of this series of letters, and her rhetorical sense guided much of what she wrote.

	Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley Information on Healthline (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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.
		A severe epidemic of smallpox in London in 1721 led Lady Mary to begin a campaign in favor of inoculation that began with the inoculation of her young daughter.
		Lady Mary's strong connections with the royal family, and their adoption of inoculation among themselves, led to considerable public support for the practice, through strong opinions both for and against inoculation were widely published in the newspapers of the day.

	Montagu
		Lady Mary has only become noteworthy as a published author in ages after her own, although she was recognised as a poet, essayist and patron by her contemporaries.
		Born in London (not at the family seat in Thoresby, Nottinghamshire) to Evelyn Pierrepont and Lady Mary Feilding, her childhood, with two sisters and a brother, was uneventful until the death of her mother in 1699.
		However, Lady Mary was too sensible to let the loss ruin her career; she had earlier written to Edward Wortley that 'had [I] all the personal charms that I want, a Face is too slight a foundation for happynesse' (Letters, I, 30).

		Isobel Grundy's edition of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's Romance Writings is a significant contribution to the study of women's writing in the eighteenth century.
		Montagu uses mythology to good effect in `The Sultan's Tale.' Flora and Diana devise a magical test of chastity of the women at Queen Emma's court, and Venus (at least partially) foils their scheme.
		Here Montagu's powers as a satirist are at their highest; her targets include religious piety, gender relations, political power, and self-indulgent tutors who fail to educate women properly.

	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.
