Mother’s Day complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Father's
Day and Siblings Day. In the United States, celebration of Mother's
Day began in the early 20th century. The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first
celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist
Church in West Virginia. Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist who cared
for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War, and created Mother’s
Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Although Jarvis was successful in founding
Mother's Day, she became resentful of the commercialization of the holiday. By the early
1920s, Hallmark Cards and other companies had started selling Mother's Day cards. Jarvis
believed that the companies had misinterpreted and exploited the idea of Mother's Day, and
that the emphasis of the holiday was on sentiment, not profit. As a result, she organized boycotts
of Mother's Day, and threatened to issue lawsuits against the companies involved. Jarvis argued
that people should appreciate and honor their mothers through handwritten letters expressing
their love and gratitude, instead of buying gifts and pre-made cards.
