Curiosity · Hinojosas de Calatrava, Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real

Leonor Serrano Pablo (Hinojosas de Calatrava, 1890 - Madrid, 1942) was a pedagogue, jurist, lawyer and feminist writer. As a child she drew the admiration of the queen regent Maria Cristina of Habsburg-Lorraine, who in 1896 decided to fund her studies in Madrid. She trained as a teacher in Toledo and Guadalajara and graduated from the Escuela Superior de Magisterio, gaining a post as school inspector in Barcelona in 1913. On a scholarship from the town council, she travelled to Rome to study with Maria Montessori and afterwards promoted the adoption of her educational method. Married in 1915 to the pedagogue José María Xandri Pich, she wrote La educación de la mujer de mañana (1923) and El método Montessori (1928), and during the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera she was exiled for her ideas.
