In 1875, the Montessori family moved to Rome, and Maria was enrolled in the local state school. Teaching was the only career available to women at that time. However, Maria was initially aspired to become an engineer, breaking through many social and cultural barriers of her time.
In 1939, Montessori and her son went on a three-month trip to India to train teachers; however, they were detained by the Indian government due to their Italian citizenship during World War II. Her stay in India lasted seven long years till the end of World War II. During this time, she offered many training courses and established a system that remains strong today.
Gandhi and Maria Montessori met in London in October 1931. Shortly after that, at Maria Montessori's invitation, Gandhi spoke at the Montessori Training College in London on October 28, 1931. He was highly interested in the Montessori education system since he taught the children in his ashrams using a technique that Dr Montessori had developed. Later, he facilitated the establishment of many Montessori schools for the lower-caste communities in India.
