Fannie Fern Andrews (Phillips), PhD (1867–1950) was an American lecturer, teacher, social worker, and writer.
[6][7][4] Andrews founded the Boston Home and School Association in 1907, with the goal of involving students' parents in education.
[8] Through her work in the public schools in Boston, she became convinced that differing ethnic and economic backgrounds spurred conflict, and that each must be taught to understand the others in order to communicate and negotiate on peaceful terms.
[5] She participated in the parallel Inter-Allied Women's Conference and unsuccessfully lobbied for the League of Nations to include a provision for her dream of the international bureau of education.
Andrews was an advocate of the ideal of peace education, and promoted action at an official level to obtain curriculum changes.
