Yes, Helen Keller was able to read and write, first by copying handwritten letters, and later using Braille.

The written language called "braille" allows the blind to read. It is simply just little bumps in patterns that represent letters. Blind people feel the braille dots to see, or rather, feel what something says.

Helen Keller used this, because she lost her sight and hearing to an illness when she was only 19 months old. After learning to associate object names with letters spelled onto her hand, she learned Braille and eventually became a published author.
