A propos de cet article

This moving biography is an ode to one of the most famous friendships of the 20th century and reveals the remarkable story of Anne Sullivan Macy, teacher of Helen Keller-and a complex, intelligent woman worth of her own spotlight. After many years, historian and Helen Keller expert Kim Nielsen realized that she and her peers had failed Anne Sullivan Macy. While Macy is remembered primarily as Helen Keller's teacher and a straightforward educational superhero, the real story of this brilliant, complex, and misunderstood woman has never been completely told. Beyond the Miracle Worker seeks to correct this oversight, presenting a new tale about the wounded but determined woman and her quest for a successful, meaningful life. Born in 1866 to poverty-stricken Irish immigrants, Macy suffered part of her childhood in the Massachusetts State Almshouse at Tewksbury. Seeking escape, in love with literature, and profoundly stubborn, she successfully fought to gain an education at the Perkins School for the Blind. She went on to teach Helen Keller, who became a loyal and lifelong friend. As Macy floundered with her own blindness, ill health, depression, and marital strife in her later years, she came to lean on her former student for emotional, physical, and economic support. Based on privately held primary source material-including materials at both the American Foundation for the Blind and the Perkins School for the Blind-Beyond the Miracle Worker is revelatory and absorbing, unraveling one of the best known and least understood friendships of the 20th century.…
