	<description><![CDATA[Oh my goodness. Marion Mahony is indeed the most wonderful of architects, but what a demeaning and bloviating testament to her talent and works this article is. Her work in this piece becomes  first and foremost a symbol of her nascent present-day feminism as opposed to primary and crafted evidence of quality architecture, thereby further distancing it from the profession which she saw herself so much a part of. At the same time, what proof is there of " unusual intimacy" by looking at a photograph of her and Catherine Wright? Surely this picture is composed by Wright and speaks more to his intentions than the sitters. As presented in this text, analysis of this photograph is pure speculation masquerading as fact. What direct proof is there in this wordy and repetitive article that Mahony was a feminist cast in the lens of the feminism of the present? This is the most slippery type of ideological history that has more to do with explaining the frustrations of the present than illuminating the realities of the past. What in fact is unconventional about the relationship between Mahony and Wright is that she was a brilliant and talented women, who was able to create amazing work, and in fact was recognized in her time. This article almost pulls the veil back over her by suggesting the weakness of her position even as she celebrated the strengths of her convictions ad design without regard to her gender. I hope Places publishes more straight-forward and concise history and theory pieces in the future and drops the categorizing clap trap which diminishes contributions and demeans the intelligence of the protagonists.]]></description>
