I liked her before. Then I ended up on her biography page (wiki) and was like, WOAH. She did everything. And knew so many people! And, wow. Just wow. The woman was a force of nature.

And a passionate Socialist, too. Quite a lady, Hellen Keller.

I would have happily skipped the nth viewing of The Miracle Worker in school, and gone straight to all the other things she did in her lifetime. Quite a list. Amazing woman.
