How is Helen Keller became a leader?

Helen Keller is a leader because she was a role model, She was death and couldn't speak. But her parents wished she could. It was very hard to understand Helen and something needed to be done, also back in those days you would be killed because they would think shes disabled. They got in a trainer to teach her to speak but never would but one day she said the Word water, and learn t how to talk.

I believe its so famous because she is a leader to death people because she proves to them never to give in.
