Regretting Mr. Wright

Feminist, mother, teacher, mistress...murder victim.  Meet the "real Mamah Borthwick Chaney."  Mamah was a modern woman who lived in a very Victorian world.  Her affair with Frank Lloyd WrIght was a great scandal at the time.  While Wright was eventually forgiven for his sins, Mamah was forced to live the rest of her short life in exile at Taliesin where she died tragically.   Through Ellie Carlson, Mamah returns to our world to share her side of the story.
