Mamah Bouton Borthwick (June 19, 1869 – August 15, 1914) was a translator primarily noted for her relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright, which ended when she was murdered.
She and Wright were instrumental in bringing the ideas and writings of Swedish feminist Ellen Key to American audiences.
Wright built his famous settlement called Taliesin in Wisconsin for her, in part, to shield her from aggressive reporters and the negative public sentiment surrounding their non-married status.
Both had left their spouses and children in order to live together and were the subject of relentless public censure.
