Product Details

Product Description

Calgary Herald

"Stunningly illustrated with photos and sketches,… an impressive artistic interpretation of the East."


Book Description

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu visited the baths in Turkey in 1717, the first European woman on record to have ever done so. She was so tightly corseted that the women bathing there were convinced her husband had locked her into some kind of devious machine. Montagu not only envied the free and luxurious nudity of the bathers but was also drawn to the apparent liberty of other aspects of their lives. She spent the rest of her life pursuing her own independence.

Through the tale of Lady Montagu and those of adventurers who succeeded her, Dreaming of East explores the allure of the Orient—its exotic trappings and offers of freedom—for women of the West. Rich with anecdotes and images, this work vividly captures the attractions of the Middle East and the restless, witty, and courageous women who traveled there.
