===Divorces=== In 1922, Kitty Wright finally granted Wright a divorce. Under the terms of the divorce, Wright was required to wait one year before he could marry his then-mistress, Maude "Miriam" Noel. In 1923, Wright's mother, Anna (Lloyd Jones) Wright, died. Wright wed Miriam Noel in November 1923, but her addiction to [[morphine]] led to the failure of the marriage in less than one year.<ref>{{Cite web|date=September 22, 2008|title=How Frank Lloyd Wright Worked|url=https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/architecture/frank-lloyd-wright.htm|access-date=September 3, 2020|website=HowStuffWorks|language=en}}</ref> In 1924, after the separation, but while still married, Wright met [[Olgivanna Lloyd Wright|Olga (Olgivanna) Lazovich Hinzenburg]]. They moved in together at Taliesin in 1925, and soon after Olgivanna became pregnant.
