Overview
Here, in a deluxe hardcover edition, is the inspiring story of an American iconāāthe greatest woman of our age,ā as Winston Churchill put itāin her own words.
The Story of My Life (1903), published just before she became the first deaf-blind college graduate in the United States, brought Helen Keller worldwide fame, and has remained a touchstone for generations. Recounting her astonishing relationship with her teacher, Annie Sullivan, "the Miracle Worker," it offers still-vivid testimony of the transformative power of love and faith in overcoming adversity.Ā
Kellerās underappreciated literary artistry and philosophical acumen are especially evident in the personal essays that make up The World I Live In (1908): exploring her own ādisability,ā she reflects profoundly on language, thinking, dreams, belief, and the relations between the senses.Ā
Also included are more than a dozen letters, speeches, essays, and other worksāmost of them from out-of-print, uncollected, or previously unpublished sourcesācharting more than 50 years of Kellerās exemplary life and career. These pieces reveal her commitments to womenās rights, workersā rights, racial justice, and peace, as well as her advocacy for the disabled.Ā
Kim E. Nielsen, Kellerās biographer and the author of A Disability History of the United States, introduces the volume, which includes a 16-page portfolio of photographs and a newly researched chronology of Kellerās life, along with authoritative notes and an index.
