I have read about Helen Keller when I was a kid and I was then moved by her beautiful writings that I came across my text books.

Now again I felt reading her books. I looked through book shops in Nepal I could not get them at all. I want to read some if there are any books or stories or essays or poems whatever stuff available written by her.

She was deaf and blind and yet I recall she had many dimensional ideas. She was a great social activist too. Moreover she was a great socialist too, and wrote about the flaw in our socio-economic system.

I want to know or read her writings on socio-economic subjects. She is really a great source of inspirations for all of us.

I need your help: Provide me with sources

Try searching online. Her Story-of-My-Life is available online at the url below. I didn't search thoroughly, but I think that other writings by her are also online.

Check this out: http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/keller-helen/works/1910s/12_11_03.htm. It is called "How I Became a Socialist."

Also, check out http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/keller-helen/index.htm. This has excerpts from Keller's political writings.

Oh, yeah, and if you can find it, there is a great essay by a present-day academic called "Open Letter to Helen Keller." It brings up excellent points about the misconceptions surrounding Keller and her life.

Good luck on your search!
