When Helen Adams Keller was nineteen months old, she had a severe illness that left her blind and deaf (she couldn’t see and hear). But despite blindness and deafness, she could communicate with others.

At the age of six, her parents took her to see Alexander Graham Bell, famous teacher of the deaf and inventor of the telephone. As a result of Bell’s advice, Helen started learning.

She soon learnt the finger-tip or manual alphabet as well as Braille.

By placing her fingers on the lips and throat of her teachers, she could understand them.

Three years after mastering the manual alphabet, she was able to speak herself.

At the age of 20, she was able to enter Radcliffe college. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1904 with honors. She used text books in Braille. Although Helen spent a lot of time working for the blind and deaf, she managed to write several books.
