Women's Health Sexual Harassment Feminism Helen Keller's braille writer. Presented by the Royal Society for the Blind, 1946. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

When she was nineteen months old an illness left Helen deaf, blind, and mute. Though a wild, destructive child, she showed such signs of intelligence that her mother sent for a special teacher. The teacher, young Anne Sullivan, herself formerly blind, managed to break through to communicate with Helen. The child loved to learn, and her remarkable achievements in reading, writing and even speaking soon made her internationally famous. Helen earned a bachelor's degree at Radcliffe, where Anne Sullivan accompanied her to every class and spelled the lectures into her hand.
