Mamah Borthwick was an energetic, intelligent, and charismatic
woman who earned a master’s degree at a time when few women even
attended college, translated writings by a key figure of the early
feminist movement, and taught at one of Germany’s best schools
for boys. She is best known, however, as the mistress of the famous
American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and for her shocking murder
at the renowned Wisconsin home he built for her, Taliesin. A Brave
and Lovely Woman offers an important corrective to the narrative of
Wright and Borthwick, a love story as American in character as it
is Shakespearean in conclusion. Little of Wright’s life
and work has been left untouched by his many admirers, critics, and
biographers. And yet the woman who stood at the center of his
emotional life, Mamah Borthwick, has fallen into near obscurity.
Mark Borthwick—a distant relative—recenters Mamah Borthwick in
her own life, presenting a detailed portrait of a fascinating
woman, a complicated figure who was at once a dedicated mother and
a faithless spouse, a feminist and a member of a conservative
sorority, a vivacious extrovert and a social pariah. Careful
research and engaging prose at last give Borthwick, an obscure but
crucial character in one of America’s most famous tragedies,
center stage.
