A substantive, thoughtful, and carefully wrought contribution to our historical knowledge about Mamah Borthwick. The author's patient, assiduous research and clear, straightforward presentation offer much-needed correctives to the narrative of Borthwick and her important relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright. -Anthony Alofsin, author of Wright and New York: The Making of America's Architect Meticulously researched and full of information drawn from newly discovered sources, this book is the first to restore Mamah Borthwick-a highly educated, vibrant, and well-connected woman-to her proper place in the life and work of Frank Lloyd Wright and in the history of twentieth-century feminism. -Alice T. Friedman, author of Women and the Making of the Modern House An incredibly well-written and deeply researched portrayal of Mamah Borthwick. So much of her life has focused on her tragic ending without knowing more specifically who she was as a person: strong, intelligent, and fiercely brave. While her life indeed ended tragically early, there is no doubt that her brave and lovely spirit is still embedded in her home, Taliesin. -Carrie Rodamaker, executive director, Taliesin Preservation
