人物贡献：
海伦·凯勒致力于社会主义，源于她作为残疾人的特殊经历，以及她对其他残障者的同情。起先，她简化字母表，使之适合残障者使用﹔但是她很快意识到，单纯地解决失明问题，是治标不治本。
通过研究她发现，盲人并非随机分布在各种人口中，而是集中在社会底层。穷人更容易由于生产事故或者得不到充分的治疗而失明。
有些穷人沦为妓女e79fa5e98193e58685e5aeb9334，又多了一种因梅毒而导致失明的危险。于是，凯勒认识到，社会阶级制度控制着人一生的命运，有时甚至决定他们是否会失明。
海伦·凯勒作为社会主义者，是由1909年开始的。在1909年，她加入了马萨诸塞州的社会党。
凯勒的后半生主要致力于为美国盲人基金会筹募资金，她坚信我们的社会需要一种激进的变革，这个信念从未动摇。她支持社会主义者尤金·V·德布斯的历次竞选总统活动。她还在妇女运动、政治、经济方面发表文章。

The Firm Helen Keller
In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark —e799bee5baa6e997aee7ad94e59b9ee7ad94366 she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.
So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?
The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.
Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.
By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.
Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.
At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.
