Mary Ellen Mark learned about the closed women's security unit at Oregon State Hospital, Ward 81, in early 1975 while photographing the production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She asked to meet some of the women on the ward and after a brief encounter she realized that their stories needed to be told. A year later she photographed and interviewed the women on Ward 81, together with her friend, the writer and social scientist Dr. Karen Folger Jacobs.
