Rita Kramer - Maria Montessori
"Maria Montessori is much more complicated and interesting than the plaster saint her devited followers have made her into. Under all the quasi-mystical reverence, the hagiography that has passed for biography, is a tough, intelligent woman who, at least in her youth, thought and did things no one had ever done before."
