Why read it?
1 author picked Maria Montessori as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The author brings this powerful woman to life, finely weaving Montessori’s story into the cultures and politics of Europe at the time. She presents an interesting and detailed perspective of not only an educator, but also a medical doctor, and crusader for social reform, including the rights of women and children.
