Helen Keller, the author of this book, was born in 1880 in a small town in the southern United States called Tuscumbia. She was able to enjoy all her senses for only 19 months, before losing her hearing and sight. At first, Helen Keller, due to being blind and deaf, was raised like an untamed beast. Under the education and companionship of Anne Sullivan, however, she gradually learned to read and write, and even learned how to speak. At the age of 20, she was admitted to the prestigious Radcliffe College at Harvard University with honors and received a Bachelor of Arts degree.
