TIMELINE TURNING POINTS
19TH AMENDMENT
In 1919, women were finally granted the right to vote under the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The first women's suffrage movement was organized in 1848 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. This means there was over half of century's gap between first women's suffrage movement and the addition of their right to vote into the Constitution.

OFFICIALLY FATHER'S DAY
President Richard Nixon established the first national Father's Day in 1972. The actual first Father's Day was celebrated in 1910 in Washington State. Campaigned by Sonora Smart Dodd, the holiday's intention was to recognize fathers' contributions in the same way mothers' had been starting to a few years prior. However, the holiday didn't get nationally enforced until 60 years later.
SOURCE
POSSIBLE PARENTS' DAY
In the 1920s, there was a campaign introduced to change the newly formed and slowly growing Father’s Day and Mother’s Day holidays into a combined Parents' Day. The campaign, however, was not based on ideas of equalizing the roles of fathers and mothers in caretaking. In fact, the creator of Parents' Day was conservative and often centered the impression of fathers around outside-of-the-home, non-fatherly activities when regarding Parents' Day. The campaign had a short-lived period, but it was heavily attracted by the media.
SOURCE
OFFICIALLY MOTHER'S DAY
On May 9th, 1914, Mother's Day is established as a national holiday during President Woodrow Wilson's executive measure signing and following proclamation. In the following years, stores began to push flowers and chocolate sales in 'honor' of Mother's Day. Activist Anna Jarvis, the creator of the holiday, complained to newspapers that "this was not what [she] intended and that companies were "commercializing [her] Mother's Day."
