The Story of My Life is the autobiography of Helen Keller, who was left deaf and blind at the age of nineteen months as a result of an acute illness. It was written when she was enrolled at Radcliffe College in her early twenties, and first appeared in instalments in the Ladies’ Home Journal in 1902. Moving past the early stages of the illness, The Story of My Life focuses on Keller’s tutelage under her teacher, Anne Sullivan. A story of hope, perseverance and joy, The Story of My Life details Helen’s remarkable psychological and intellectual growth, and comes together in a tale of triumph over difficulties that would be considered insurmountable to most.

About Author

Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. Her birthplace in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, is now a museum[1] and sponsors an annual "Helen Keller Day". Her June 27 birthday is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in Pennsylvania and, in the centenary year of her birth, was recognized by a presidential proclamation from Jimmy Carter. She was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 1971 and was one of twelve inaugural inductees to the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame on June 8, 2015.
