Written description on its product page:

(Quote)
Today, Helen Keller is known as the wild child who was rescued from darkness and isolation by her governess. But during her lifetime, Keller was highly respected as a social activist, writer, and leader.

This shirt features a quote from her editorial "Why Men Need Woman Suffrage," first published in the Socialist paper The New York Call, on the eve of World War 1 (now in the public domain): "old ideas are up a tree ... scurrying away before the advance of their everlasting enemy, the questioning mind of a new age."

Times are changing once again, Helen Keller's words remind us to keep questioning, and to keep challenging old bigotries.

The new illustration for this quote, in black and white line drawing, features two skeletal monsters, with birds' heads and feet, clinging to a dead tree while two hounds, with question-mark spots on their sides, are in close pursuit.

I remember Helen Keller for having the guts to try to save Joe Hill from execution for a crime he clearly didn't commit.

And I still love your design, obv.

Helen Keller had guts, and brains and (clearly) a finely-tuned sense of snark. I'm still bitter about A. G. Bell's influence that kept her isolated from the Deaf community, though.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking about how I can shift that design around to fit on other products... I'll probably have to sleep on it.
