Donna, I haven't read it, but I know what she means. It isn't even Helen
Keller's fault, as someone on here (can't remember who) pointed out she
lived in the 1800's and things were a lot different then. When people see us
not as individuals, but as "like Helen Keller," and Helen Keller was not
truly independent, you can understand why many of us would want to pick on
her a little.

John and Angela,
Have either of you read the book "Blind Rage: letters to Helen Keller?"  
It's by a blind woman college professor who apparently got sick and tired of
being continually compared to Helen.  I borrowed it from NLS, but haven't
gotten to it yet.
