Dorothea Dix was born in the tiny village of Hampden, Maine, in 1802. She was brought up by her
grandmother in Boston. When only nineteen years old, she established the Dix Mansion School for
girls in Boston. There was no lack of students, and the school provided a good source of income for
her and her two brothers. In 1836, however, her health failed. She suffered most of her life from
"lung trouble" and depression. She was forced to stop teaching and had to close her school.
Later that same year, having partially recovered, Dix set off for Italy but never reached her
destination. She had to halt her journey in England. During this time, she became friends with
Samuel Tuke, from whom she learned new methods for taking care of the mentally ill.
Returning to the United States, Dix volunteered to teach classes at a prison for women in
Massachusetts. When she went to the lower level of the jail where the mentally ill were housed, she
was shocked to see that they were treated far worse even than ordinary criminals, living in
miserable conditions. She vowed to spend the rest of her life improving conditions for the mentally
ill. Dix spent the next eighteen months touring Massachusetts prisons and local jails, documenting
and exposing inhumane conditions. Her reports led to legislative reforms in Massachusetts, setting
the stage for her nationwide advocacy.
When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Dix volunteered to form the Army Nursing Corps. At first,
military authorities, who were not accustomed to female nurses, were skeptical, but she
convinced them that women could perform this work acceptably. She recruited over 3,000 women
and raised money for medical supplies for the troops. Under her leadership, army nursing care greatly improved.
After the war, Dix returned to her life's work and resumed her travels. Her work in support of better
care for the mentally ill resulted in the restructuring of many hospitals both in the United States and
abroad. She asked the federal government to use the income from public lands to help poor mental
patients, and although both houses of Congress approved this bill, President Pierce vetoed it. Even
though this plan failed, Dix was able to arouse concern for the problem of mental illness all over the
United States as well as in Canada and Europe.
