Dorothea Dix was motivated to a life of reform by the year she  spent in the UK with the Rathbone family. There, she was exposed to  a variety of British reform movements, aâ¦nd saw how they handled  their mentally insane citizens.
During the American Civil War, Dix was appointed Superintendent of Army Nurses by the Union Army, beating out Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. She and others found that the qualities that made her a successful crusaderâindependence, single-minded zealâwere not effective in managing a large organization of female nurses under crisis conditions in a wide geographic area.
