Anna Proposed to the United States Congress for making Mother’s Day a national holiday. Her request was rejected after being mocked. After too many efforts, by 1911, some states of the United States observed this day as some local holiday (in states of West Virginia). In 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation for making Mother’s day a national holiday. All over the world this day was observed for honoring the mothers.

After being succeeded in her ambition, Anna got some resentment. She found that holiday was being commercialized. This was because Hallmark Cards and other Companies started to make greeting cards for mother’s day. She thought it was violating the idea of mother’s day. It seemed to her that profits were made in the name of sentiment. She thought that cards are useless, one should write a letter to show love and gratitude towards the mother. Boycotted it and went against the law. She threatened the companies involved to issue a lawsuit. Jarvis protested at a candy makers’ Convention, at a meeting of American War Mothers. She was arrested for violating the law but afterwards she apologized for her mistake and she explained that she didn’t have any ill-intention.
