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.
