Broomell, Anna Pettit
Dorothy Canfield Fisher was a 20th century American author and a major proponent of the Montessori Method. She spent her adult life in Vermont, where she became friends with Sarah Cleghorn. Sarah Cleghorn was a Quaker poet and activist who did collaborative work with Fisher. In 1943, Cleghorn moved to Philadelphia. Anna Pettit Broomell took care of her as her health declined and edited Cleghorn's poetry in 1956. Broomell was a Quaker author of children's books; the introduction to her most successful volume was written by Dorothy Canfield Fisher in 1935.
