Montagu lived between 1689-1762 and she kept a record of her correspondences (mainly sent from the Ottoman Empire to various cities in Europe) which were published posthumously under the title of Turkish Embassy Letters in 1763. The woman who challenged mainstream writing and started to establish a dialogue across cultures in the eighteenth century was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.
With the distorted description of the veil and the harem, a fantasy world has been formed by the mainstream writers, which curtailed the development of transnational dialogues. She is currently working on Ottoman women writers (1756-1900). She has specialised in Hilda Doolittle and Kleinian psychoanalysis, and her major research interests include women writers, postcolonial literature, autobiography, psychoanalysis, gender, and war literature. Emel Zorluoglu Akbey is an assistant professor at Erzurum Technical University.
