About the book
Helen Keller graduated cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1904, and the present book was written and published in her sophomore year with the aid and encouragement of Charles Townsend Copeland, her English teacher, and the literary critic, John Albert Macy. It contains her own account of the opening chapters of her life, a selection from her letters, and a description of her education and early development drawn mainly from the records of Annie Sullivan, the beloved "Teacher," through whose guidance and companionship Miss Keller emerged from darkness, silence, and isolation into the great world. - Introduction. The Story of My Life is Helen Keller's own account of how she miraculously triumphed over blindness and deafness-and became one of the most inspiring and intriguing figures of our time.
