The fascinating life of one of the most popular historical figures is told through images-rarely, if ever, seen-from the American Foundation for the Blind and The Perkins School for the Blind. The images trace Keller's life from birth to her many years as a dedicated social activist and spokesperson. We get a glimpse of her sense of humour, her experiences as a lecturer on the vaudeville circuit, her many pets, and her last quiet years.
