A deaf and blind person with the most profound insight on any nation's governance. Normal is overrated - she could think within the silence.
If she were alive today she can run the country better than the filibustering nincompoops we have in the name of politicians and leaders !!!! - 3 months ago

It was way more true in her time than it is today (12 hour workdays, no workers' rights, child labor, etc.) , but it is still true to a certain extent.
She was a smart lady, they intentionally leave out her Progressive politics when they teach about her in primary school.

Helen Keller's teacher was named Anne Sullivan.
Annie, or Anne, Sullivan was born on 14 April 1866 in Feeding Hills, Massachusetts, the daughter of Irish farmers who left Ireland in 1847 because of the Irish Potato Famine. When Annie was eight, her mother died from tuberculosis, and when she was ten her father deserted her and her siblings, leaving them at the Massachusetts State Infirmary in Tewksbury. Annie was partially blind as a result of contracting the eye disease trachoma at age five. In 1880, she entered the Perkins School for the Blind where she underwent surgery and regained some of her sight. After graduating as class valedictorian in 1886, she began teaching Helen Keller.
