Born April 14, 1866 in Feeding Hills, Massachusetts. Died October 20, 1936. A teacher in Forest Hills, New York. Her maiden name was Sullivan. She married Anne Sullivan Macy. She is known for her achievements as a private tutor, providing a high level of education to Helen Keller, who was blind, deaf, and mute. She herself lost most of her eyesight due to illness as a child. She entered the Perkins School for the Blind in 1880 and graduated at the top of her class in 1886. For several months, she studied the work of Samuel Gridley Howe, the first principal of the Perkins School for the Blind, together with Laura D. Bridgman. In March 1887, she became the private tutor of the then 6-year-old Keller in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Keller lost her sight and hearing due to an infection contracted at the age of 19 months, and since then, she grew up to be an unruly, angry, and selfish child, with no discipline, and only a touch-based connection to the outside world. Through patient ingenuity, Sullivan was able to teach Keller through finger spelling within a month that objects had names. Keller's learning progressed rapidly, and she developed a sufficient vocabulary and natural intelligence that the two of them attracted attention throughout the United States. In 1888, they both attended the Perkins School for the Blind. After Keller graduated in 1904, the couple moved to a farm in Wrentham, Massachusetts, with the help of a donor. Sullivan married Keller in 1905 and took the surname Macy, but separated from her husband in 1913. She continued to be by Keller's side, accompanying her at home, on trips around the United States, and later on educational meetings and vaudeville tours around the world, as well as on speaking tours for the American Association of the Overseas Blind. By 1935, she had lost her sight completely. Sullivan |
