She started a campaign in 1905 seeking the recognition of Mother’s Day as a holiday in the United States when her mother died. At first, her request was declined, however, after 6 long years, in 1911, the US started observing Mother's Day as a holiday. In 1941, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday in the month of May as a national holiday to honour mothers.
