Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) was an English writer best known for her letters written during her stay in Turkey in the early 18th century, as part of her husband's trip to Constantinople.
Work is remarkable not only for its literary style, but also for its vivid exploration of Ottoman society at the time.
