On the other hand, Helen Keller who lost her hearing and vision at 19 months has educated women to achieve their dreams in spite of their disability. When she was 9 years old, she made an enormous progress in learning how to write. She wrote, "I study about the earth and the animals, and I like arithmetic exceedingly”. Afterwards, Keller becomes a prolific writer, a peacemaker, a passionate advocate, not just for blind and disabled people, but for equal rights.
Another magnificent woman, Miranda Kerr who is an intelligent super model, inspires young women to raise awareness about the environment. She is the face of the Australian Koala Foundation which aims to protect koalas' natural habitat. She said, "I believe every effort we make now has a reaction. If we're all doing the simple, small things we can do to help the environment, it makes a big difference''.
