Montessori was an Italia physician and educator, Today hundreds of schools bear her name and teach her educational methods. Her child-centred way of teaching was first developed for children with mental disabilities and then applied generally when she opened her first school, Casa dei Bambini (Children's House), in Rome for children from low-income families.
My Thoughts:
Toksvig's Almanac 2021 consists of many stories from history - mostly
about women. A lot of these women are not well-known, but they should
be.
Written humorously, Sandi Toksvig presents us with the
achievements and destinies of many important women throughout history. A
lot of women have found a place within this work, first woman
scientists, doctors, activists, entertainers, and many more. Many of
these stories are not well-known. At least, I didn't know most of them.
This audiobook is a very well-researched work. I was impressed by how much time and effort must be in this book.
I
think the book might be a slightly better choice for some, as you can
research all these names on your own for further information. But on the
other hand, the audiobook version is also a great choice because it was
fun to listen to the author's narration.
