In 1882 two year old Helen Keller became Blind an Deaf. In 1887 Annie Sullivan came to help teach Helen. She learned How to read, write, even speak properly! I'm her life time Helen wrote and published three books, she starred in a silent film, she even toured Japan! In 1936 her dead friend and teacher passed away one of the books Helen wrote was about Annie. This biography made me very interested in learning about Helen Keller and the amazing obstacles she went through with her head held high! Recommended for ages 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

This shows that women can do anything in life if they try, men too. So, Thank you Helen and Anne for showing that Deaf and/or blind people man or woman can accomplish anything.
