Dorothea Dix was a teacher for about ten years, beginning her career in 1816 when she started teaching Sunday school to inmates at a women's prison in Massachusetts. She later opened her own school for young children in Boston, which she ran until 1824. Her teaching experience significantly shaped her later advocacy for mental health reform and the humane treatment of the mentally ill.
