Each year in March, we celebrate the courageous contributions and achievements of women in history who were able to overcome the odds stacked against them in a male-dominated society. 
In this spirit, we are honored to share the inspiring stories of just a few American trailblazers and heroes from history who forever changed the fields of mental health and psychology – and who laid the foundations to the path of progress we continue today. Find more detailed bios on our website. #LinkInBio

1802 – 1887, Throughout her life, Dorothea Lynde Dix advocated for the living conditions and treatment of the mentally ill in the U.S., often challenging 19th century notions of reform and illness. She fervently and passionately pushed for better treatment for patients, even when prominent politicians disagreed and sought to discredit her work.
She played an instrumental role in the founding or expansion of more than 30 hospitals for the treatment of the mentally ill, and was a leading international figure challenging the idea that people with a mental illness could not be cured or helped.
