''No barrier of my senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends''.
She held her head high and worked hard to reach the pinnacle of learning so much so that she wrote amazing books which became famous all over the world. Moreover, she learned to dance and do horse riding. People all around the world wanted to meet her. Some great personalities like Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin, and John Kennedy met her eagerly. She was said to have a 'charge of electricity'.
