Humanitarian Dorothea Dix was born in Hampden, Maine, in 1802. At the
age of 19, she established a school for girls, the Dix Mansion School, in
Boston, but had to close it in 1835 due to her poor health. She wrote and
published the first of many books for children in 1824. In 1841, Dix
accepted an invitation to teach classes at a prison in East Cambridge,
Massachusetts. She was deeply disturbed by the sight of mentally-ill
persons thrown in the jail and treated like criminals. For the next eighteen
months, she toured Massachusetts institutions where other mental patients
were confined and reported the shocking conditions she found to the state
legislature. When improvements followed in Massachusetts, she turned her
attention to the neighboring states and then to the West and South.
Dix’s work was interrupted by the Civil War; she served as superintendent
of women hospital nurses for the federal government.
Dix saw special hospitals for the mentally-ill built in some fifteen states.
Although her plan to obtain public land for her cause failed, she aroused
concern for the problem of mental illness all over the United States as well
as in Canada and Europe.
