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.

Helen Adams Keller was born healthy on 27 June 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, to Arthur H. Keller and Kate Adams. Struck by a terrible illness when she was barely nineteen months old, Helen was left blind and deaf for life. At the age of six, Keller was referred to Alexander Graham Bell by the physician, J. Julian Chisolm. Helen Adams Keller is now known as an American author, political activist and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. The story of how Keller’s teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film the Miracle Worker. A prolific author, Keller was well-traveled and outspoken in her convictions
