Maria Montessori

“A Montessori Mother” is authored by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, an American author, educational reformer, and advocate for progressive education born in 1879. A graduate of Smith College, Fisher was deeply influenced by the Montessori method and became a vocal proponent of child-centered education. Through her writings, which include novels, essays, and educational texts, she sought to inspire parents and educators to rethink conventional educational practices and embrace innovative approaches that prioritize the needs and individuality of children. Fisher’s work as an activist for social change and educational reform has left a lasting impact, particularly in the field of child education, making her contributions invaluable for parents and teachers alike.
