Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children-the accepted destiny for all women in her milieu of late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome-and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the work being done with children from the slums of the San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child's mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides-scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific-she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori Method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher is the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Montessori, Maria, $d 1870-1952. 650 0 $a Educators $z Italy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women educators $z Italy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Montessori method of education. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Conti, Gregory, $d 1952- $e translator. 941 $a 10 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20230602010108.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20221008011635.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20220923010332.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20220802014447.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220702010329.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220610010338.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220507010238.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20220503070040.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220412014606.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220311010049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6411012A10811EC97B7F3B05EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
