Working Mothers: An Example of Strength and Dedication
In today's world, women are not limited to household responsibilities; they are playing leading roles in corporate sectors, business, medicine, science, education, and politics. Working mothers not only support their families but also significantly contribute to societal and economic development.
National Working Mothers' Day was first initiated in 2020 by Suzanna Lago, founder of Working Moms of Milwaukee (WMM). The day aims to appreciate mothers who work tirelessly to balance their families and careers.

Working mothers face numerous challenges—time management, childcare, office responsibilities, and societal expectations. However, they overcome these obstacles and create new milestones of success.
