Helen Keller

Helen Keller was a lecturer, author, and political activist. Her most enduring contribution is that she was the first person who was both deaf and blind to earn a bachelor’s degree in the arts. Her autobiography, “The Story of My Life,” as well as other outstanding essay collections like “Out of the Dark,” are what people most often remember her for.

She also wrote several published works on socialist and metaphysical subjects. Her life has served as an inspiration for a number of movies, television shows, and documentaries. She continues to be an inspiration to millions of people worldwide and is the subject of both artistic creations and scholarly discourse.
