Keller used the braille typewriter to write her first autobiography, The Story of My Life, which she dedicated to him, writing, “To Alexander Graham Bell, who has taught the deaf to speak and enabled the listening ear to hear speech from the Atlantic to the Rockies.”

I think Keller’s purpose was to show the fundamental humanity of people with disabilities, and part of that is explaining her internal life as a child who could not see or hear. The woman paints the child’s experiences in her own fantasy.

Helen Keller

In her writings and speeches, Keller called for revolution rather than reform. She had no patience for compromise, and argued that charitable aid did more to assuage the guilt of the prosperous than to improve the conditions of vulnerable people’s lives.

Fortunately, surgical procedures allowed her to regain her sight, but Helen’s blindness was permanent. She needed someone to help her through life, someone to teach her that blindness wasn’t the end of the road. Anne coached Helen with various techniques designed to teach her how to spell.

Deceased (1880–1968)

Death. Keller died in her sleep on June 1, 1968, just a few weeks before her 88th birthday. Keller suffered a series of strokes in 1961 and spent the remaining years of her life at her home in Connecticut.

In 1882, at 19 months of age, Helen Keller developed a febrile illness that left her both deaf and blind. This analysis of her illness suggests she likely had bacterial meningitis, caused by Neisseria meningitidis or possibly Haemophilus influenzae.

Thanks to Helen’s work, braille became the standard system around the world in 1932. Helen Keller pushed the United States government for more assistance to the blind. As Helen Keller traveled the world, she changed the lives of millions of people with visual impairments. She brought them courage and hope.

She began writing using grooved board . She wrote on the groove under which a sheet of paper would be placed. She also learned Braille script which helped her a lot to read and write. When Helen was ten years old, she came to know about a girl in Norway, deaf and blind like her, but who had been taught to speak.
