"Mrs. Macy" was Helen Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy.

wow

The story of these to women is simply incredible. Their bond must be very strong. I wonder how accurate "The Miracle Worker" tells their story. This is a wonderful moment in time. I am glad someone was there to photograph it.

great!

Beautiful women.

lifeasdaddy: Thank you for the additional details regarding this image. We will look into expanding the descriptive information when we update the source record.

Hellen Keller for real!! Is this the faous Hellen Keller in the book and movie?

She stands out like a star in this picture because she's able to be so much more natural than the others. She didn't have a preconception of how someone should hold their face for a photo so she just WAS. Lovely.

Mrs. Macy (Anne Sullivan Macy) was tutor and companion to Helen Keller. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Sullivan
