Answer 2

Helen Keller was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. she was deaf and blind, but she never stopped learning.It is heresy in our time to intimate that a young woman may do better than go to college. Before 1878, women, backed by public opinion, were already standing at the door of Harvard demanding higher education, and conservative men felt uneasy lest they should seem selfish to monopolize knowledge. A few progressive members of the Harvard Faculty agreed to teach women in private classes.In 1894 the Society took the name of Radcliffe College and got its charter from the legislature, which gave it the right to confer its own degree. This degree is countersigned by the president of Harvard, who warrants it equal to a Harvard degree.
