The walls of a private madhouse, and inside them a sane prisoner: her husband has signed her away and taken her infant daughter, and the law says he may. Maria writes her life down for a child she may never see again, and the pages become the fiercest indictment of English marriage anyone had yet set on paper.
Was not the world a vast prison, and women born slaves?
