Mothers Day was the idea of Ann Jarvis, championed as a nation - TopicsExpress



          

Mothers Day was the idea of Ann Jarvis, championed as a nation holiday by her daughter, Anna Jarvis as a day of recognition of the legitimate labor of motherhood, as a way of commemorating...the matchless service she renders to humanity in every field of life. Anna fought for and achieved national recognition of the holiday, which she thought would be a day of political education and action as well as celebration. She fought the rest of her life to combat the sentimentality and commercialization of the holiday. All I can think is: what a perfect holiday for my political activist mother. Happy Mothers Day, mom.
