Dorothea Dix: The child genius that became a world famous activist!

ILL REPUTE! with Sovereign Syre & Ela Darling

This week Sovereign Syre and Souixsie Q talk about Dorothea Dix, an early advocate and activist for the treatment of the mentally ill. Dix escaped a troubled home as a child, displayed all the hallmarks of genius by her teens, and went on to live a life that oversaw the change of the treatment of the mentally ill from America, to Europe, to the Middle East and even in Japan. Join us as we talk about how the daughter of a religious zealot and drunk managed to live an extraordinary life dedicated to helping the indigent and overlooked.
