Blind Rage: Letters to Helen Keller, by Georgina Kleege [50BPT]

Today's entry comes from Mia in the call for entries. Thanks Mia!

Blind Rage: Letters to Helen Keller, by Georgina Kleege


A woman who is blind examines the mythos surrounding Helen Keller and how it has affected people with disabilities through the use of letters she writes to Keller. Besides taking on the narrative built around Keller herself, the book attempts to explain and describe realities of life as a blind person that most of mainstream society just doesn't get.
