Mother's Day - Founded by Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. First officially observed in 1908, it honored motherhood and family life at a time of rising feminist activism. An early supporter was John Wanamaker, whose store stood opposite. Mother's Day was given federal recognition in 1914. (Historical marker located at S. Juniper and Market Sts. Philadelphia PA - Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission 1998)
