In \u003ci\u003eExposition\u003c\/i\u003e, Léger wrote about the Countess of Castiglione, the most photographed woman of the nineteenth century; in \u003ci\u003eSuite for Barbara Loden\u003c\/i\u003e she took up the actress and filmmaker Barbara Loden; here, Léger grapples with the tragic 2008 death of Italian performance artist Pippa Bacca, who was raped and murdered while hiking from Italy to the Middle East in a wedding dress to promote world peace. A harrowing meditation on the risks women encounter, in life and in art, \u003ci\u003eThe White Dress\u003c\/i\u003e also brings to a haunting conclusion Léger's personal interrogation--sustained across all three books--of her relationship with her mother and the desire for justice in our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathalie Léger\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eSuite for Barbara Loden\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExposition\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as an editor and archivist.
