AMI Talks: International Women's Day - Finding my Voice

AMI Talks - International Women's Day: Finding my VoiceMontessori’s contribution to helping women develop their sense of agency Years before she became an advocate for the rights of children, Montessori was a voice for the women of her time.  Growing up in the late 19th century, Montessori overcame societal strictures that defined what she could achieve as a woman and worked actively to help other women take control of their bodies and advocate for themselves. As we celebrate Women’s Day today, author, researcher and historian, Erica Moretti traced Montessori’s early work in this field.   Reflecting on their observations of the impact of Montessori training on women in different settings, Trainers Uma Ramani and Helen Mohan Elias discussed how the Montessori approach to Education as an Aid to Life helps women gain a fresh perspective on themselves and their role in society, helping them become agents for social change in their communities. As we celebrated Women’s Day, they explored the enduring power of Montessori’s work in helping women find their voice and realise the strength of their contributions to society.
