Constance Wilde with son Cyril, 1889

In honor of the very talented, hugely witty, and tragically persecuted Oscar Wilde on the occasion of his 160th birthday on October 16, a little bit about his wife, the aptly named, also talented Constance (née Lloyd): http://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/252152/Shameful-agony-of-Oscar-Wilde-s-wife
