Her experiences in the Ottoman Empire gave her knowledge about a practise of inoculation against smallpox called variolation, which Wortley Montagu introduced to the West on her return. Frequently attacked during her life, her writings are now recognised as a valuable historical resource, and one of the earliest secular works written by a woman about the Near East.  | |
