From his strong-willed mother to his artistic sister, and from the devoted wife who raised his first six children to the client’s wife he ultimately left her for, Frank Lloyd Wright’s personal story can be told through the women he loved and the homes he built for them. Signature works such as the Winslow House, the Prairie-era homes of Oak Park, and Taliesin itself reflect these relationships, serving as laboratories for Wright’s ideas about family life, artistic partnership, and the integration of architecture and landscape.

Seen through this lens, Wright’s buildings become deeply personal expressions as well as milestones in the development of modern American architecture. With a wealth of  fascinating stories and a genuine love of the architectural genius, master storyteller Timothy Totten shines a sympathetic light on the women who played influential roles in the story of Wright’s life and work.
