"The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller

[rcratty]

Has anyone read "The Story of My Life" -it is a wonderful lesson on never giving up in the face of adversity.
Before Helen Keller died on June 1, 1968, she became a public speaker and author. "The Story of My Life" was published in 1902. Helen was a fundraiser for the American Foundation for the Blind as well as an advocate for racial and sexual equality. At age 87, she had become an inspiration to the world and helped to alter perceptions about the disabled.
There are many wonderful biographies on Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller.

I may have read that one. I know there was one where it went up to her young adulthood and I wanted more from it because she lived such an inspirational life.

I didn't know this! I would like to read this atsome point. I also did not know about her advocacy, either. Learn something new everyday and always.

I would love to read this. I first learnt about Helen Keller at a dance festival of all places and now I do some work with blind children. This story sounds fascinating.

Helen Keller was really an inspirational woman who really forbid gender inequality and also makes it glaring disability(s) isn't a death threat to success. She's among those who help put the world straight since her time till now making success a goal for the disabled and also making disabilities look like a mere barrier.

Just read that Texas has decided to drop Helen Keller from their school curriculum. It's suppose to save them about 40 minutes of instructional time, which will probably be used for more standardized test prep. Thoughts?

I heard that too, and think that is a bad decision. I have her book in my shelves 4/4 rating.

Stories or memoirs of such people always serve as good inspirations for people going through the same kind of experience. It serves as a reassurance that they are not the only ones going through the same

I know that I own a copy of this book except I do not remember where I put it. I really liked the way Hellen's teacher helped her learn how to read and write.
