Book excerpt: Helen Keller -- star of an early silent film, vaudevillian, suffragist, controversial proponent of eugenics -- was first and foremost a writer. Byline of Hope is the first book to collect Keller's journalism, much of it never before reprinted. In articles for Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, and The New York Times, as well as her regular column in the all-but-forgotten Home Magazine (which was published for five years during the Great Depression in the early 1930s) Keller's name was a "Byline of Hope," says Towson University journalism professor Beth A. Haller, who collected the articles and edited this edition. Keller's collected articles in Byline of Hope represent some of "the most genuine of [Keller's] writings", says biographer Dorothy Herrmann. "This is probably Helen Keller who Helen Keller was ... unadorned by helpers." In Byline of Hope, Haller presents and analyzes Keller's writings on spirituality, women's issues, socialism, education and children, as well as her thoughts on blindness and deafness -- and her essays on her meetings with many important people of the day. Valued as much for the famous byline as for their content, Keller's articles reached a broad audience eager for her optimistic message, a message still relevant today. Keller "offered the perfect message for the 20th century", writes Haller, "that positive social change could occur."
