When Woodrow Wilson issued the first Mother’s Day Proclamation in 1914, women’s participation in public life was severely limited.
In 2018, women like Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who this year become the 10th member of Congress and first U.S. senator to give birth while in office, and NASA astronaut Anne McClain have drawn our attention to the profound achievements women can reach while raising a family.
The reality is, the demands of motherhood mean every woman who answers to “Mom” is a superhero in her own right. Remember to celebrate the women who inspire and encourage you this Mother’s Day.
