Helen Keller wrote her autobiography, The Story of My Life, while she
was still studying in Radcliffe College. It was first published in 1902
in instalments in the Ladies' Home Journal before being published as a
book in 1903. Widely considered to be one of the most inspiring life
accounts ever written, it details Helen's life as a blind, deaf, and
mute person up to the age of 22. Helen Keller's teacher and companion,
Anne Sullivan, played a central role in her life, right from moving her
away from home to teaching her the Tadoma method of communication. Anne
Sullivan's actions towards Helen went a long way in transforming the way
she lived her life and interacted with the world.
A story of courage and dedication, The Story of My Life is filled with
endearing moments from Helen's life journey, from her thoughts of when
she first learnt to speak and her time at Radcliffe College to her
dynamics with Anne Sullivan. The book remains an inspiration unto itself
and has been adapted into multiple plays and movies across the world.
