100 pp. | Clarion | February, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-85299-4 $18.00
(4) 4-6 An 1832 bout with scarlet fever left two-year-old Laura Bridgman blind and deaf. Preceding Helen Keller by about fifty years, Bridgman's educational opportunities were limited; she enrolled in Perkins School for the Blind, where she became a worldwide figure. This biography of a complicated woman is somewhat hampered by tangential photographs and extensive captions with extraneous historical information. Websites. Bib., ind.
