About Helen Keller

In spite of being deafblind, she was able to break barriers and conquer the world. She was arguably the world's most well-known person with deafblindness, and the first to gain quality education by overcoming her deafblindness. Keller was a prolific author, writing 14 books and hundreds of speeches and essays on topics ranging from animals to Mahatma Gandhi. Keller campaigned for those with disabilities, for women’s suffrage, labor rights, and world peace. American educator Helen Keller overcame the adversity of being blind and deaf to become one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians, as well as co-founder of the ACLU. Helen Keller showed the world that deafblind people can do great things. She wrote many books; the most famous one is ‘The Story of My Life.
