Suppose Maria Montessori (31 August 1870 – 6 May 1952) was an Italian physician and educator best known for the philosophy of education that bears her name. Her educational method is in use today in public and private schools around the world. Montessori believed in the potential of each individual child and emphasized independence, freedom within limits, and the importance of respecting the child.
Can we infer that "Maria Montessori invented the Montessori educational method in the 21st century."? Yes, no, or maybe?
