August signals new notebooks, crisp uniforms, and the beginning of something meaningful. And while the world celebrates the excitement of back-to-school, we look to women who turned learning into legacy.

Anne Sullivan, the devoted teacher of Helen Keller, is a quiet force in history. Orphaned young and nearly blind herself, Anne carried grit and grace into everything she did. But it was her patient, persistent belief in one little girl that shaped her story—and ours.

When Anne met Helen, the world had already given up on the child who couldn’t see or hear. But Anne didn’t see impossibility—she saw potential. Through discipline, care, and unshakable integrity, she taught Helen to communicate, dream, and lead.
