She was a scholar in a world that denied women an education, a traveler who ventured into a foreign world with an un-prejudiced eye, and a medical crusader who changed the course of public health. Born into the heart of England's aristocracy, Mary Wortley Montagu defied every expectation placed upon her. From the vibrant courts of Queen Anne to the exotic bazaars of Constantinople, she used her sharp wit and courageous spirit to forge a path entirely her own. She survived smallpox only to risk everything to introduce a life-saving practice to a skeptical Europe. She engaged in a bitter literary war with the era's greatest poet and left a body of work that would be celebrated for centuries. A fearless intellectual, a fierce critic, and a woman who refused to be confined by the limitations of her time, Mary Wortley Montagu was a true paradox of her age. This book is the story of her incredible journey, her enduring legacy, and the timeless intellect that made her a woman ahead of her time. Approx.170 pages, 32800 word count
