Dorothea L. Dix PSY 310 December 19th, 2010 Dorothea L. Dix Dorothea L. Dix was a woman of many splendors. She was not one who wanted credit for her accomplishments for she acted simply in a matter that would best help people. She was driven by the purest desire to help individuals obtain a better life. “There are few cases in history where a social movement of such proportions can be attributed to the work of a single individual” (Gardner & Kovach, 1972). Dorothea accomplished extreme reform for the treatment of the mentally ill.
Mainly I suggest this because she has been motivated to pursue her studies in psychiatry due to her own experiences in the field. Jamison is realistic about what happens during each phase of this disorder and she makes suggestions in each of her books to her readers that are realistic and able to be followed by any Dick or Jane. In her book, “An Unquiet Mind”, Jamison suggests that we all try to look at this mood disorder as not a dysfunction, but instead a part of a person that helps to make them unique and define who they really are deep inside.

In the end her and her baby got the help they were looking for, and were adopted into the family. This was all because she wanted to do the right thing for her child. This made me highly respect Mandy, and I had this feeling about her the entire book. People that do the right thing get
I have chosen to research Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keefe because they are very inspiring women artists. Frida Kahlo pushed the boundaries of what was expected from a traditional Latin American female artist. She led a life full of emotional and physical pain. From an early diagnosis of polio, to a life altering bus accident, to a marriage riddled with infidelities, Frida's often-difficult life was the inspiration for her art. Her exploration of herself and the world she lived in broke social norms, artistically, and politically, causing both outrage and awe from those who viewed her paintings.
Monica Norris LIT2020 Jacob Kelly Coincidence or Comparison? ! Seeing and obsessing over the idea that there is a woman trapped behind ugly wallpaper is not a habit that many people would consider “normal.” Perhaps there is more behind the short story The Yellow Wallpaper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman .While it may seem that narrator is just a fictional, and mentally ill character, many details included in the story can be connected to the authors experiences in her real life such as the narrators mental illness, the treatments she received, and her relationships.

She did it for herself, not only because it is good for her well-being, might she have another baby on the way (as hints were thrown in the book).

As a conclusion, my mother is my blessed gift in my life. There are many people who have inspired me in many ways but, my mother who inspired me the most.
