MARIA MONTESSORI
Montessori was born on August 31, 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy. She was a physician and also pedagogy woman. Her educational method is in use today in some public and private schools throughout the world.
From 1896 to 1901, Montessori worked with and researched so-called
"phrenasthenic", children experiencing some
form of mental retardation, illness, or disability. She also began to
travel, study, speak, and publish nationally and internationally, coming
to prominence as an advocate for women's rights and education for
mentally disabled children.
