Self-taught in her father's library, the writer, satirist and poet Lady Mary Wortley Montagu had an inexhaustible appetite for travel and society. This third edition of her Letters and Works (1866) offers insight into the ambitions and frustrations of one of the most unconventional women of the eighteenth century. In addition to remarks on the follies and diversions of London, Volume 1 provides acute and often acerbic observations of the sights and people she encountered on her travels across Holland, France, Germany, Austria and Turkey. Letters to her family, to Alexander Pope, and to her sister the Countess of Mar are enhanced by an engraved portrait of Lady Mary in her famous Turkish-inspired dress, and an introductory memoir of her life; all of which ensures the enduring appeal of this entertaining collection of correspondence.

Diplomatendochter Katie Hickman beschrijft in Daughters of Britannia het leven en de ervaringen van partners, dochters en zusters van Britse (mannelijke) diplomaten over een periode van 350 jaar. We vinden in het boek enkele bekende namen terug zoals de schrijfsters Mary Wortley Montagu en Vita Sackville-West. Veelal gaat het echter over vrouwen die hun leven in relatieve anonimiteit ten dienste stellen van het diplomatenleven van hun man. Vrouwelijke diplomaten waren vroeger een zeldzaam gegeven. In 1998 maken mannen dertien procent van de 'diplomatic spouses' uit, aldus Hickman. Een evolutie waar ze binnen de context van dit boek evenwel verder geen aandacht aan besteedt.
