In 1907 it was Anna M. Jarvis (1864-1948) a Philadelphia schoolteacher who began a movement in the U.S. to set up a national Mother's Day. It was to honor her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis and all mothers. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day. It is celebrated today on the second Sunday in May.
