Ngiyakhumbula lapho ngisemncane, mina nomama sigxilisa amehlo ethu ezikhangisweni zoSuku Lomama ezitolo sizama ukuthengisa ama-vacuums noma ama-blenders njengesipho esihle sokuhlonipha omama… izikhangiso ezibhalwe amadoda, ngokungangabazeki! Yize kungafanele njengoba into yasekhishini ingeyokuhlonipha umama womuntu, ezentengiselwano uqobo lweholide zaba yinto ehlukumeza kakhulu owesifazane owazidala, u-Anna Jarvis.

Leli holide lenziwa ngo-1908 ukuhlonipha umama wakhe, u-Ann Reeves Jarvis, owesifazane owadala izinsizakalo zezempilo zomphakathi futhi wanakekela amasosha ezinhlangothini zombili zeMpi Yombango yase-US. Kodwa, isimemezelo sokuqala soSuku Lomama senziwa yisishoshovu esikanye naso uJulia Ward Howe, owayengumuntu oqinile futhi owaqeda nya ngo-1872. Wayekholelwa ukuthi abesifazane babenomsebenzi wokubumba imiphakathi yabo ezingeni lezepolitiki, kwathi ngo-1870 wakhipha “Isikhalazo sokuba ngowesifazane emhlabeni wonke, ”okusho ukuthi ngokwengxenye,“ Amadodana ethu ngeke athathwe kithi ukuze afunde konke esikwazise ukubafundisa kona ngesisa, isihe nokubekezela. Thina, abesifazane bezwe elilodwa, sizothantamisa kakhulu labo bakwelinye izwe, ukuvumela amadodana ethu ukuba aqeqeshwe alimaze awabo. ”

Namuhla, uSuku Lomama lugujwa emazweni angaphezu kwangama-40. E-United States, uSuku Lomama luyaqhubeka nokugujwa kokwethula omama nabanye abesifazane ngezipho nezimbali, futhi lube ngomunye wamaholide amakhulu okusetshenziswa kwemali yabathengi. Kuyavunywa, izimbali zenza isipho esingcono kunokuhlanza i-vacuum, kodwa isipho esingahlonipha ngempela abesifazane kungaba ukuqedwa kwempi.
