An interesting case of how society perceives men and women when they engage in something that are unethical or immoral. Think of the case of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. In this case, I am looking at the case of Frank Llyod Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. She left her husband and children to live with Wright. Similarly, Wright also left his wife and kids to share a life with her. But why a society had different reactions to their actions?
"In society's view, Wright was merely misbehaving, while Mrs. Cheney was doing something far more shocking: acting like an unnatural mother."
From the New York Times review of the book "Loving Frank"
