advice columnists, Dix was America's highest paid and most widely read female journalist at the time of her death. Her advice on marriage was
syndicated in newspapers around the world. With an estimated audience of 60 million readers, she became a popular and recognized figure on her travels abroad. In addition to her journalistic work, she joined in the campaign for
woman suffrage and the ratification of the
