Helen Keller (1880 - 1968) is famous as a blind and deaf person who was able to overcome her handicaps through the devoted work of Anne Sullivan, her teacher and eventual life-long friend. Her blindness and deafness were caused by an illness early in her childhood. The story of her relationship with Sullivan was recorded in the The Miracle Worker both as a play and later as a motion picture.
At first attending schools for the deaf and blind, Keller went on to graduate from college with high honors. As Keller learned to live with her handicaps and excel, she went on to speak at events supporting social causes including rights for the handicapped and women's rights.
