Dix, Dorothea

The work of Dorothea Dix, government superintendent of women nurses, with its onerous and important duties, needs no eulogy.

Dorothea Dix revolutionized the care of the insane in the United States.

Up to the time of Dorothea Dix's interest, no one had seemed to bother his head about prisoners and insane people.

But it mattered very much to Dorothea Dix that human beings were being ill-treated, and she meant to start a reform.

Any one else would have given up, but Dorothea Dix always carried her point.
