This is the first book-length study of Helen Keller's public speaking. It contains rhetorical analysis about how a person who was "sightless but seen, deaf but heard" learned to communicate, and how she gave public speeches for nearly 80 years inspiring others with her "vision for a better tomorrow." The analysis, texts of various speeches on a broad range of subjects, a chronology of her speeches, and bibliography will be helpful to students and teachers of speech and all those interested in Helen Keller.
