@rosyhills I believe the "breakthrough" depicted in the movie is accurate, although it might not have occurred in quite such a dramatic moment as the movie depicts. There was one word that she learned to say as a baby before illness left her blind and deaf, and that one word proved to be the key
I won't ruin it for you. The ending of that film is one that still makes me cry. In fact, I'm getting a little misty-eyed while typing this
Be sure to watch the original, with Patty Duke as Helen. Years later, there was a remake on TV with Patty Duke, now older, playing Helen's teacher Annie Sullivan. It's not as good

@Matt85 For women of a certain age, that seems disrespectful.
I have no desire to be called a dude.
I don't need to ask for equality ...
I am equal,as we all are equal.
I do ask for respect and I try to give it.
I know that younger ladies call each other dude all the time so, it's not much of an insult ,if that's what you're going for, in that age group.

Helen Keller was still very well-known when I was a kid in the 70s. I get the impression that kids today probably don't know who she was.
Most people aren't aware that Keller was a Swedenborgian, a Christian sect that followed the mystic Emanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg believed that the Second Coming of Christ had already occurred. Politically, Keller was a socialist and was a founding member of the ACLU. She was also a member of the International Workers of the World (the "Wobblies,") supported communist presidential candidate Eugene Debs, and was an opponent of Woodrow Wilson.
Keller was the first deafblind person to get a bachelor's degree, and wrote 12 books. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Lyndon Johnson.

Did you ever see Helen Kellers husband?
That's OK. She never has seen him either.
