Lady Mary is today chiefly remembered for her letters, particularly her Turkish Embassy Letters describing her travels to the Ottoman Empire, as wife to the British ambassador to Turkey, which Billie Melman describes as "the very first example of a secular work by a woman about the Muslim Orient". Aside from her writing, Mary is also known for introducing and advocating smallpox inoculation in Britain after her return from Turkey. Her writings address and challenge some contemporary social attitudes towards women and their intellectual and social growth at that time. (Wikipedia).

Second edition of these letters sent home from her travels in the Ottoman Empire by the poet and essayist Lady Wortley Montagu - 'one of the most generous and accurate chroniclers of life in Constantinople since Busbecq' - with the first edition of An Additional Volume to the Letters, her observations on Turkish inoculation practices against smallpox influencing her popularisation of the technique upon her return to England. Edited and prefaced in a proto-feminist vein by Mary Astell, who comments on the superiority of female travel writers, these are the Embassy Letters of Lady Montagu, who left London in August 1716 to accompany her husband on an embassy to Constantinople. They arrived in Turkey in spring 1717 after a 'fearsome journey [.] across the battlefield of Peterwardein (where bodies of men, horses, and camels still lay deep-frozen in the snow). Lady Mary sent home long letters describing her travels, and she kept copies for future reworking as a travel book. She laid a foundation of expertise in Turkish culture in three weeks billeted in Belgrade with an efendi, or Islamic scholar, with whom she had wide-ranging conversations on oriental languages, literature, religions, and social customs. She was delighted with the civility of women at a public bath building in Sofia, socially poised and graciously welcoming although stark naked' (ODNB). Her letters - written to interlocutors such as Pope and the Princess of Wales - 'established the genre of European women's travel writing. Opinionated, energetic and flamboyant, they present a seductive, sophisticated and challenging vision of the European encounter with the Orient and they set a standard to which many subsequent writers aspired but few ever achieved' (Tuson, p. 31). Montagu's brother had died of smallpox in 1713, and she had recovered from a bout herself two years later.She was instrumental in bringing techniques of inoculation to England after observing elderly Turkish women engaging in what she refers to as engrafting: 'the old woman comes with a nut-shell full of the matter of the best sort of small-pox, and asks what veins you please to have open'd. She immediately rips open that [which] you offer to her, with a large needle (which gives you no more pain than a common scratch)' (vol. II, p. 60). Montagu expresses her trust in the 'safety of the experiment' and expresses her desire to 'try it out' on her 'little son', Edward, who would become the first English person to receive inoculation against smallpox; Charles Maitland, the Scottish surgeon then employed by the embassy, oversaw Edward's inoculation in Turkey, and upon the family's return inoculated Montagu's daughter, Mary, in the presence of three physicians from the Royal College of Physicians, the first professional inoculation to take place in England.
