Description

Maria Cust was just 23 years old when she began penning her diary as the bride of an East India Company executive. The picture she left us is one of domestic bliss, though there were certainly trials when Robert was called away to India right after they had their first child together. In this episode of Their Own Words, get an idea of what it might have been like to be a middle-class mother in Victorian Britain.
