EVANGELICAL WOMEN IN THE SECOND HALF OF 1800; HELEN KELLER P/90

In this story I will continue to focus on a woman named Helen Keller.She lived from 1880 - 1968. Even before Helen graduated, she published two books, The Story of My Life (1902) and Optimism (1903), which very much launched her career as a writer and a lecturer. She authored a dozen books and articles in major magazines, advocating for prevention of blindness in children and for other causes.

Helen began to support the suffrage movement and advocated for the blind. After Anne's death in 1936, Helen continued to lecture internationally with the support of other aides, and became one of the world's most admired women. During World War II, she toured military hospitals to bring comfort to soldiers.

In 1964, she was honoured with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She also received honorary doctorates from Glasgow, Harvard and the Temple Universities.

Helen died in 1968 at the age of 87.
