When she was a teenager, Helen Keller was given this "touch watch" by John Hitz, a retired diplomat. Originally made to tell time discreetly or in the dark—see its studded edges?—the watch became one of Keller's prized possessions, accompanying her on her busy speaking schedule.

Girls have always used their voices to make a difference, and Helen Keller was no exception. Deaf and blind from the age of 19 months, Keller grew up to be an outspoken advocate and activist. Over the course of her career in public life, Keller joined and campaigned for the Industrial Workers of the World, gave speeches and rode in parades supporting women's voting rights, met with President Calvin Coolidge and other political leaders to advocate for people with disabilities, and helped found the American Civil Liberties Union.
