Gems of Wisdom Garnet Heart Necklace and Helen Keller

“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.” ~ Helen Keller

Helen Keller is a very interesting person and not one that is known very well. She is mostly remembered for overcoming both her blindness and deafness by learning to communicate, but did you know that she was also the first deafblind person to earn a bachelors degree?

She was also an author, writing 12 novels throughout her life (one was an autobiography). Something else you might not have known about her is that she was a member of the Socialist Party of America. She also campaigned for women’s suffrage and labor rights!

How impressive was she?
