"While [Maria Montessori] spoke out against the gross injustices by which she saw so many women victimized, she never saw herself as a victim. She had no sense of being confronted by obstacles she could not overcome. And she felt her own professional achievements were a more effective statement than any rhetoric about the potentials of women. She was not only articulating the case for women's capabilities, she was exemplifying it, demonstrating what a woman could do instead of talking about it."
-Rita Kramer, biographer of Maria Montessori
