The inception of Mother's Day dates back to 1905 when a young woman named Anna Jarvis began campaigning for a day to commemorate the work done by her mother in the United States. Anna's mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis was a peace activist caring for soldiers wounded as a result of the American Civil War. Anne's mother passed away in 1905 and in 1911 the day was finally recognized by all the states of the USA after numerous protests. Moreover, in 1912, Anna had got the day trademarked to be celebrated on the second Sunday of May.
