Thanks for posting! I never knew about Anne Sullivan's own visual problems and blindness. I've always thought she was remarkable woman even without knowing this detail, but now that I do, she was even more amazing.

Sullivan essentially gave up her own life to help Helen Keller--she had a brief marriage that couldn't survive her situation as live-in companion to Keller. Given that era's expectations of a Harvard prof's wife, that's not surprising. Wikipedia bio is interesting.

Her autobiography is great too.

However brilliant Helen Keller was, imagine the patience it took to teach her.

I meant to add the stubbornness and grit came from her 100% Irish roots.
