Helen Keller: A Triumph Over Adversity

Abstract

Helen Keller’s life is an extraordinary example of human resilience and the transformative power of education. Struck blind and deaf at 19 months old, Keller’s story is one of perseverance and triumph over adversity, aided by her remarkable teacher Anne Sullivan. Through her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller offers profound insights into her struggles, learning journey, and eventual achievements. This paper delves into Keller’s early life, her relationship with Sullivan, her intellectual awakening, and her legacy as a global advocate for disability rights and social causes.
