Who started Mother’s Day?
In 1908, three years after the death of his own mother, a social activist Anna Jarvis led a movement to commemorate mothers and create a Mother’s Day. Jarvis organized a memorial to commemorate his mother and all mothers at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in his hometown of Grafton, West Virginia. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill making Jarvis Mother’s Day a national holiday.
Grammar detectives are quick to note that Mother’s Day celebrates mom in the singular, not the plural (it’s Mother’s Day, not Mother’s Day). It dates back to Jarvis, who wanted the holiday to be about children celebrating their own mothers, not the concept of motherhood in general.
