Did you know Mother's Day was originally envisioned as a day of peace by 19th Century writer and activist, Julia Ward Howe?
Howe wrote The Mother's Day Proclamation as an "appeal to womanhood throughout the world" in 1870, following the Civil War. She called for a General Congress of Women to come together to grieve the loss of their loved ones in battle and discuss how to put an end to war globally.
Mother's Day as we know it was later championed by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century as a way to honor the sacrifices of mothers and promote peace. However, as the holiday became increasingly commercialized, its original purpose became overshadowed.
