Helen Keller

Helen Keller, famously depicted in "The Miracle Worker," was, by all accounts, a phenomenal human being. Rendered blind and deaf as a toddler, she eventually learned to communicate and went on to graduate from Radcliffe College, proving that really, the only thing holding you back is, well, everything.

While Keller's achievements were truly inspirational, one might argue that her most astonishing feat was existing before the age of social media, where her every success would undoubtedly have been prefaced with "Despite her challenges..." followed by a cascade of inspirational quotes and sponsored content.

Despite her undeniable impact on disability rights and her tireless work as an advocate, there's no indication that Helen Keller was anything other than a gentile of good standing. She was, in short, remarkable but decidedly not a member of the tribe. Sorry to disappoint, but we can't all be Golda Meir.

Her legacy, however, continues to shine, a testament to human resilience and the power of a good publicist. And a really, really good teacher. Seriously, Anne Sullivan deserves her own profile.
