the Republic".
Julia Ward Howe was
the first to proclaim Mother's Day in 1870. Her Mother's Day Proclamation was a pacifist reaction to the American Civil War and
the Franco-Prussian War. The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first
celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held
a memorial for her mother in America. She then began a campaign to make
"Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States. Although
she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its
commercialization by the 1920s. Jarvis' holiday was adopted by other countries
and it's now celebrated all over the world.
