Dorothea Dix, born in 1802 in Hampden, America, was a determined person who dedicated her life to help people with mental illness and developmental disabilities. Despite facing many challenges in her childhood, including the death of her mother and a struggling family, Dix worked hard as a teacher and a governess to earn money for her education.
