Helen Keller DID NOT invent the Braille system - it was invented by Louis Braille in 1824 - about 50 years before she was born.
She wrote numerous books and started the Helen Keller Endowment for the Blind - started with $2 million in donations.

Keller's book, Light in my Darkness was published in 1960. In the book, she advocates the teachings of the Swedish scientist and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg. She also wrote a lengthy autobiography called The Story of My Life, which was published in 1903. The Story of my Life was also written with help from Ann Sullivan and Ann's husband John Macy. It includes letters that Helen wrote and the story of her life up to age 21. In total, she wrote twelve books and authored numerous articles.

Keller is credited with having introduced the Akita to America

Helen Keller was a member of the Socialist Party and actively campaigned and wrote in support of the working classes from 1909 to 1921. She supported Socialist Party candidate Eugene V. Debs in each of his campaigns for the presidency. Her political views were reinforced by visiting workers. In her words, "I have visited sweatshops, factories, crowded slums. If I could not see it, I could smell it."

UH...you first need to get your facts straight. Louis Braille invented Braille.

Other than that, she wrote books, was involved with politics (I think she was involved with the American Socialist Party, and she brought thte Akita dog to the US from Japan.

Other than that, she's the matron of many-a-funny joke.
