Few know the name Anna Jarvis, yet we mail the card, buy the flowers, place the phone call, or make the brunch reservation to honour our mothers, all because of her. Memorializing Motherhood 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.
