Abstract
War (conceived and largely carried out by men), as well as forms of education aligned with the ideologies that usually sustain it, has encountered numerous opposing responses. What do figures - diverse also in their different historical, social, political, and cultural contexts - such as Maria Montessori, Margherita Zoebeli, Irena Sendler, Stefania Wilczyńska, Hind al-Husseini, and Angela Zucconi have in common? Across the great wars of the twentieth century, the Shoah, the Palestinian Nakba, and postwar Italy (as well as within different cultural environments: the Jewish world, the Arab world, European culture), it is worth highlighting how the reparative and resistant functions of education in contexts of conflict and post-conflict have been able to express feminine languages and shared practices beyond specific historical moments, while still acknowledging the necessary weight of contextualization, within which the ethical and political foundations underlying educational action become clearer and more precisely defined.
