Helen Keller, born in 1880, was the first deaf-blind graduate of

throughout her life she was a strong advocate for the blind and
deaf communities, visiting over thirty-five countries and
publishing fourteen books about her experiences, which have been
translated into more than fifty languages. She died in 1968.
