Helen Keller

American Literature

Helen Keller (1880 to 1968) is an author whose books are catalogued in Open Library under 144 works, led by The Story of My Life. The catalogue files her work under the subjects Helen Keller, Biography, United States, Deafblind people, Deafblind women, Blind and Optimism, which shows that her books are catalogued as writing about the life of a deafblind woman in the United States and about optimism. The same subject headings name Annie Sullivan (1866 to 1936) and Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 to 1772), so the record links her work to both of those people. Open Library records her birth year as 1880 and her death year as 1968.
