Helen Keller was an American author, lecturer, and activist born in 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She became deaf and blind at just 19 months old due to an illness, but with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she learned to communicate using the Tactile method. Keller went on to attend Radcliffe College and became the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor's degree. She was an advocate for people with disabilities and supported many social and political causes. Keller wrote several books, including her autobiography, "The Story of My Life," and traveled extensively to give lectures and speeches. She died in 1968 at the age of 87, but remains an inspiration to people with disabilities worldwide.
