She learned how to tell which person was walking from the vibrations of their footsteps. Helen travelled a lot and was outspoken about her beliefs and convictions. She campaigned for women's suffrage, labor rights, socialism, and other similar causes.

Helen challenged the obstacles that were thrown her way by life and fate. Her life as expressed through some of her famous quotes can inspire us to face our challenges with courage and determination…
