In the tenth episode of season 19 of 5 Minute Biographies, we explore the extraordinary life of Helen Keller, a woman who overcame incredible obstacles to become a symbol of perseverance and achievement. Left deaf and blind as a toddler due to illness, she defied all expectations with the help of her devoted teacher, Anne Sullivan. Keller went on to become a prolific author, activist, and lecturer, advocating for disability rights, women's suffrage, and social equality. Her story is one of resilience, intellect, and the power of education. Join us as we take a five-minute look at the inspiring life of Helen Keller.
