Lady Mary Montagu´s Travel Writing

"They believe that I am trapped in the machine, it is impossible to open it, this is the design they gave to my husband." Here, once again, another culture I acknowledge that it is different from her own culture. Judith is still aware of her way of doing. "Focuses not to get caught up in the cliché of Orientalism of the early modern male travel books, the identity of her personality and behavior proved her writing from the beginning to the last letter.

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762), a British aristocrat and author, remembers letters from Turkey today. This is an early example of secular work in eastern Islam by women in the West. When Mary entered the Ottoman Empire, she discovered local variations of habit, inoculation of smallpox. Unlike Jenner later using a vaccinia vaccine, the variation uses a small portion of the smallpox itself. Mary, who is suffering from this disease, encourages her children to vaccinate in Turkey. After she returned to London, she diligently promoted surgery but encountered many resistance. But her example certainly promotes the practice of injecting smallpox in the UK upper class. The number of vaccinations is still small, and the whole medical activity in the 18th century focused on reducing the risks and side effects of the vaccination process.

After witnessing the incident during her trip to the Ottoman Empire, Mary Waltree Montague despised Western tradition by smallpox vaccination to Western medicine. In 1718, Waitley Montague was vaccinated by her son and her daughter was vaccinated when she was attacked in England in 1721. This is the first such action in the UK. She persuaded Carolyn of Ansbach to try prisoners treatment. Princess Caroline later vaccinated the two daughters in 1722. According to the pen name, Wortley Montague explained vaccination in September 1722 and announced a supporting article.
