The name of Helen Keller is known around the world as a symbol of courage in the face of overwhelming odds, yet she was much more than a symbol. She was a woman of luminous intelligence, high ambition and great accomplishment who devoted her life to helping others. Although Helen Keller was blind and deaf, she knew several languages. Helen Keller learned to read and communicate by touch. She used these skills to study English, French, German, Greek, and Latin. Late in her life, she said she wanted to learn even more languages. During her lifetime, Helen Keller was consistently ranked near the top of 'most admired' lists. She died in 1968, leaving a legacy that Helen Keller International is proud to carry on in her name and memory. This book is a authorized autobiography of 'Helen Keller'.
