When we think about everything moms do for us, it just makes sense to have a day to celebrate them. Anna Jarvis felt the same way. After her mother passed away, she worked tirelessly to create a national holiday honoring mothers. Her efforts paid off in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. But as businesses turned it into a commercial event, Jarvis was so disappointed that she eventually started a petition to have the holiday abolished altogether.
