Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator, acclaimed for her educational method that builds on the way children learn naturally.
Born in Italy in 1870, the year the modern Italian nation came into being, Maria Montessori seized the possibilities of the historic moment to break the mold imposed on women in nineteenth-century Italy and forge a new one.
She began her professional life as an innovator, breaking a traditional barrier. It was no small thing for a woman to force her way into medical school against the weight of social custom and professional reaction, and then to graduate with high honors that meant she was not just good “for a woman” but as good as any of her male colleagues. In her work with special needs children, then at the Casa Dei Bambini, and later in the extensions of her methods for the education of children to the elementary school years, she continues to be a pioneer.
