The "softening" of Keller's accomplishments and life.

How she was a firebrand, a Socialist, a labor "agitator," a huge feminist. But what we learn about her is "The Miracle Worker." The freeing of Helen Keller from the prison her illness locked her in is an incredible miracle engineered by Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller, but it was just the first step.

Helen Keller was totally kickass!
