Por la causa de las mujeres

These pages reveal one of the lesser-known facets of Maria Montessori: her tireless fight for the feminist cause. In the nine texts collected here, the author defends and promotes a "new woman" model, aware of her potential and creator of her own destiny. Fundamental issues such as the right to vote and education or equal treatment at work and in marriage are covered here with vehemence and clarity. Living testimony of the first steps of female emancipation in Europe, these texts offer a valuable contribution to the ever-current debate on women's rights throughout the world.
