 Maria Montessori (educator), b. 1870 d. 1952, was the first woman to attend medical school in Italy. Achieved a doctor of medicine and surgery in 1896.
In 1912, she traveled to the United States and her method of teaching, the Montessori Method, became known. Shortly afterwards schools using her method opened. The American Montessori Society was formed in 1960 and Montessori schools grew rapidly. Her educational practices are still widely used today.
