Léger was inspired to write the piece after being asked to write an encyclopedia entry on Barbara Loden's only film as director, the 1970 film Wanda. Delving into research she found herself with enough material to write a short book, a mix of novel, biography, and art criticism.[3]

An excerpt from the book was published in the fall 2016 issue of The Paris Review.[4]
