Helen Keller's superb autobiography takes us through the childhood
and early life of a woman who was to become one of the United
States most celebrated activists and lecturers. First published in
1903, Keller's early memoirs reveal her upbringing which was very
much in the spirit of American tradition. Being both deaf and
blind, Keller's astounding rise to a position of great prominence
and fame in society gave inspiration to countless individuals
suffering from sensory disabilities. Keller details her childhood
and the character of her close family members. Both of her parents
receive detailed descriptions; her father, a former Confederate
officer, demonstrated to Keller the importance of publicity at an
early age by editing the North Alabamian newspaper. Helen's
training in sign language enabled her to communicate, and Keller
was duly dispatched to a specialist doctor who referred her to the
young Anne Sullivan, who became a lifelong friend and mentor to the
young Keller.
