AS WE KNOW , IN THIS WORLD WOMEN SHOULD BE PERFECT BUT HELEN KELLER CHANGED EVERYONE'S THINKING !! THANK YOU TO HER :)
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
⨀ She was the first person with deafblindness to earn a college degree. From Radcliffe, no less, from which she graduated cum laude in 1904 with a Bachelor's Degree.
⨀ She was great friends with Mark Twain. The two met when Keller was 14, and remained friends until Twain died 16 years later.
⨀ She was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. The nomination came after Keller visited the Mideast in 1952 and met with local leaders to advocate for the rights of those who were blind or disabled.
⨀ She remains influential and respected even after her death. In 1999 her name appeared on Time magazine's list of the 100 most important figures of the 20th century, alongside such iconic figures as Albert Einstein, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi.
⨀ She fell in love and almost eloped. Keller was in her late 30s when Sullivan fell suddenly ill. Keller brought in a private secretary named Peter Fagan, with whom she fell in love and planned to elope. But her family strongly objected because they believed that women with disabilities should not marry, ultimately thwarting the couple's plans.
⨀ She was extremely political. In addition to being a member of the Socialist Party, Keller was a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). She was an outspoken advocate for women's rights and a strong supporter of birth control, all radical views for a woman in the early 20th century.
NEXT WOMAN WILL BE STEVIE NICKS * YAHHH*
