             Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968)

Helen Keller is a famous deaf and blind woman who became a women’s
suffragist and political activist while publishing twelve books. Her life and 
childhood education with radical teacher, Anne Sullivan, were immortalized
in The Miracle Worker, a Broadway play (and later, Oscar-winning film)
based on Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life.
