Her sons had her committed, so she kept a diary to prove she was sane. Mary Huestis Pengilly recorded the food, the cold, the nurses and the cruelties of a New Brunswick asylum in the eighteen eighties, then got out and published it to force an inspection, in the plainest and most damning voice available: an ordinary woman describing her day.
