Helen Adams Keller, born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on the June 27th of 1880, was the first child of Arthur H. Keller and Kate Adams Keller. Helen had been raised just as the ordinary child of other families until she had suffered from the Scarlet Fever. Due to the Scarlet Fever, she had lost her auditory sense and eyesight when she was just 19th month. Kate had sent a letter to the Perkins Institution, requesting a private teacher. Perkins sent a valedictorian of Perkins, class of 1886, Anne Mansfield Sullivan Macy.
Anne became the most important person in Helen’s entire life, and contributed the most to Helen's Knowledge. Helen has even been chosen as one of the most influential women of 20th century by George Gallup, and when one looks back to Helen’s lifetime, one could think that Helen Adams Keller is just a disabled woman who overcame her disabilities. However, she has been more than that. The history has recorded Helen as a educated person who practiced the social movement trying to build socialism to reduce the unfairness of the world.
