The title originates in Mark Twain's description of Sullivan as a "miracle worker".[1] He admired both women, and although his personal finances were problematic, he helped arrange the funding of Keller's Radcliffe College education by his friend, financier and industrialist Henry Huttleston Rogers.[2]
