Collected Newspaper and Magazine Writing of Helen Keller
Edited by Beth A. Haller, Ph.D.
In Byline of Hope, Towson University journalism professor Beth A. Haller has collected Helen Keller’s writing for newspapers and magazines — articles for Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times and The Home Magazine — many of them never before reprinted until now. With introductory chapters and analysis.
Keller’s “was the perfect message for the 20th century…that positive social change could occur.”

“The Disability Rag is the voice of a mighty revolution, and this stunning collection from its first 15 years will become an invaluable primer for anyone who wants to understand the new thinking of the disability rights movement. Here are the urgent, spirited and provocative stories that have changed the way people — disabled and nondisabled — have come to view what it means to have a disability.” –Joseph. P. Shapiro, National Public Radio, author of No Pity: People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement.
“Reading The Ragged Edge [anthology] is like sitting in on a vigorous, sometimes funny, and often irreverent roundtable discussion of the issues that most concern all humanity, disabled and nondisabled, whether they admit it or not. Some of the voices are reflective, some sad, some furious, but none will lull you to sleep. On the contrary, you’ll feel ready to roll on out and transform the world.”SW — Nancy Mairs, author of Plaintext, Carnal Acts, Ordinary Time and Waist High In the World
