Dorothea Dix became a teacher when she was 14 years old.  When she was 19 she started her own girls’ school in Boston. She also became interested in the Unitarianism of Channing.  As a teacher, she was known for strictness. She used her grandmother’s home for another school, and also started a free school, supported by donations, for poor children. This message was brought to you by the ERASE Club in honor of Women’s History Month.
