A snake dreams up an unusual Mothers Day gift

Anna Jarvis (1864-1948) organized the first official Mother's Day celebration in Grafton, West Virginia in 1908 and then spent decades promoting the holiday and defending it from commercialization. She designed her Mother's Day celebration around a view of motherhood and domesticity, envisioning a day venerating the daily services and sacrifices of mothers within the home. This publication explores the complicated history of Anna Jarvis's movement to establish and control Mother's Day, as well as the powerful conceptualization of this day as both a holiday and a cultural representation of motherhood.
