An interesting quote from Keller. A rebel when she was born, she tried to get away from her beloved teacher and mother to marry but was thwarted in that desire in a most poignant episode. Once her ‘teacher’ was dead, Helen took up drinking Martinis and smoking and dancing!
I know she was a Wobbly but I blame Anne Sullivan’s husband for misleading her very naïve self.
That's a fun tidbit.
A co worker's mother and Helen Keller were friends, he had some childhood recollections and his mother's letters/photos. That always impressed me, and yes, I'm slightly familiar with her politics.
Well I get pretty wobbly after a few drinks myself.....
