This photo is very beautiful as well. It captures the era very nicely. Her dress is so neat and I love the flowers. I have never seen a picture of the actual Helen Keller. She is lovely.

Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to graduate from college. She began writing when she was 11 years old! She was an extreme socialist and her political views were very influential.

Helen Keller is one of the most influential woman in history, she is a mark of inspiration and hope for everyone thinking they can't accomplish something. This photo sticks out to me because it shows Helen Keller in a different light, it shows the feminist side to her. A lot of people just see Helen Keller as a deaf and a mute, but this picture shows her in a dress and she is wearing flowers to symbolize a soft, womanly side to her.
