Seriously, damn few Americans know much about her. When she's taught in schools, they kind of leave out her adult life and stop with the Patty Duke scene at the water pump. Or, if they do mention it, they talk about how she "helped the blind" and "visited injured soldiers". Nada about her being a suffragist or pro-birth control or an active member of the IWW.
Will definitely be reading Memoirs. *adds to long but way fun list*
