Notes: Boutelle's book received generally favorable reviews.
Thomas Hines in the LA Times, called it "a seminal study [that] will provide the essential base for all future work on Morgan and her world."
A Smith College art professor who knew Boutelle said her book was indispensable because before that [Morgan] was virtually an unknown to all but a handfull of architectural historians."
Boutelle's book was awarded the California Book Award Silver Medal in 1989.
"To people who ask me about 'Julia,' I say they may first-name her only if they refer to Frank Lloyd Wright as 'Frank,' " Boutelle wrote with an indignant sniff.
