1/2 #WomenInCulture We’re very fond of #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu whose portrait is in #GravesGallery . She wanted a better education than was thought appropriate for girls of her time & by 16 she'd written two volumes of poetry, a short novel & taught herself Latin #MuseumWeek

2/2 #WomenInCulture #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu brought the smallpox inoculation to Britain. She publicised the benefits despite physical violence & hostility. This breakthrough was the 1st time in Western medicine antibodies were used to secure immunity from disease #MuseumWeek

Türk kadınlarının en büyük süsü Türk oluşlarıdır. Onlar süslenmek için elmas veya zümrüt takınmıyorlar, belki üzerlerinde taşıdıkları o taşları süslemiş ve kıymetlendirmiş oluyorlar. Çünkü her Türk kadını canlı bir inci ve paha biçilmez bir pırlantadır.

Remembering incomparable #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu with pride today of all days: she had her children inoculated against smallpox in Turkey & brought the idea of #vaccination home to Britain in 1718, some 70 years before #Jenner developed it. (Do read the verse under her portrait!)

This week we’re tweeting all about #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu , the woman of letters and science who 300 years ago introduced inoculation to the UK. There’s a monument to Mary’s life at Wentworth Castle Gardens which you can visit all year round.

Meet #PowerWoman #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu who defied convention by “stealing” her education, being the first female travel writer, & introducing smallpox inoculation to Western medicine! 💥 ow.ly/AziG30l34QB #GirlBoss #StyleInfluencer #WomenInHistory #SmartGirls #Jewelry

These #Letters by #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu , written from #Turkey in the #18th century to #England and #Paris are fun to read. She makes nice observations and writes #evocatively .

Lucky enough to get my 1st jab today. If you have a moment, read this fascinating description of #vaccination (or is it innoculation?) by one of my pioneering heroines #LadyMaryWortleyMontagu . She brought the idea home to London long before #Jenner used the process. What a woman.
