Mother's Day

In the United States, Mother's Day started nearly 150 years ago, when Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, organized a day to raise awareness of poor health conditions in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it "Mother's Work Day." In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother's Day (the second Sunday in May) as a national holiday.
