Summary:
"This is a very straight-forward series title, detailing Keller's life within the broader context of social history. This title does stay closer to Keller's personal narrative than other titles in the series, but it does bring in the many historical figures who were close to Keller, weaving their narratives with her own. The writing is very accessible"-- Provided by publisher.
