Dodds, Susanna Way (1830-1911)
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Susannah Way Dodds was born on 10 November 1830 in Randolph County, Indiana and died on 20 January 1911 in Long Beach, California. She was a physician, hydrotherapist and natural hygiene proponent; and an advocate of women's rights. In 1864, she graduated from Russell T. Trall's New York Hygeio-Therapeutic College. In 1878, Susannah Dodds and her sister-in-law Dr. Mary Dodds opened a sanitarium, the Dodds' Hygeian Home and ran it for more than 50 years. In 1887, they established the Hygienic College of Physicians and Surgeons in St. Louis, Missouri. Like all "water cure" therapists, they focused on natural methods of treatment with a focus on diet. Dodds proposed a strict veg*n diet that excluded meat, milk, soda, spices, and sweeteners. Dodds was Vice-President of the Vegetarian Society of America and published The Sanitarian magazine.
