Goodreads asked Susan Page:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Susan Page I thought Nancy Pelosi was someone who had a significant impact on American political history in modern times but was more caricatured than understood. Well-known but not known well. And of the many pols I've covered, she struck me as perhaps the most comfortable of all with the gaining, holding and wielding of power. I wasn't trying to make the case that she was the heroine of her fans or the villain of her foes. I was trying the make the case that she was important. The result: "Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power."
