Anna Jarvis: The Mother of Mother's Day

Seneca's 100 Women to Hear - A podcast by iHeartPodcasts and Seneca Women Podcast Network

Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mother’s Day, never had children of her own. We revisit this conversation with  Dr. Katharine Antolini, history professor at West Virginia Wesleyan College, who tells us that Jarvis was a tireless campaigner for the  movement to honor mothers—and a fierce defender of her personal vision for the day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
