Candidates were chosen, "...from a variety of professions and represent a diverse group of accomplished mothers." They have, "...achieved greatness in their respective careers, while simultaneously maintaining their roles as exemplary mothers."
As only living American mothers are eligible, Rowling has been cited as an honorary 'global' inductee. Quote:

Well done  That's true but this is an American list so... Quote:
maby its because in the UK its MUM or Mummy..
Or ma, or mam, or mama or mammy. There are loads of variations. Quote:
Mother's Day is a wonderful holiday solely propagated by the greeting card/jewelry industry.
Which is why I never buy mine a card for it. I prefer to give her a gift and/or spend time together. |

Kenedie Taryn Hawthorne International Cooperation | It's funny. I'm not even from the UK & I like the word Mum & Mummy better. I think it's cute
But yes, congratulations to Joanne! They had to include her, see, even if she didn't live in the US.
& That quote, that said she wrote a little book called Harry Potter, it made me get the chills <3 |
