The current "Early life and illness" section reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. In particular, the last paragraph is ambiguous due to figurative language and feels like a thesis restatement.

She was an amazing person who dedicated her life to others! It is sad that there is no mention of her addressing the delegates of Lions Clubs International in 1925 at Cedar Point Ohio, Challenging Them to become Knights of The Blind, Which became the First and foremost Pillar of Service for one of the now Largest Community Service Organizations in the world!

Who's Thomson
There's a person named Thomson the Wikipedia never said who he is and how Helen Keller knows him. Here's where it it mentioned him.
"Anne Sullivan died in 1936, with Keller holding her hand,[36] after falling into a coma as a result of coronary thrombosis.[37]: 266 Keller and Thomson moved to Connecticut. They traveled worldwide and raised funds for the blind. Thomson had a stroke in 1957 from which she never fully recovered and died in 1960. Winnie Corbally, a nurse originally hired to care for Thomson in 1957, stayed on after Thomson's death and was Keller's companion for the rest of her life."[34]
This is in Paragraph 3 under Companions.

Should this mention conspiracy theories about her?
Per
WP:DUE, I'd argue against inclusion. Those conspiracy theories float around, but are completely insignificant to her legacy & non-encyclopedic. Including them gives them more weight than they deserve. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 13:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)reply
