Mothers

Many children, young and old, write to MY HERO about their mothers. They write about mothers as mentors, mothers who are single parents, and mothers whose unconditional love makes them heroes. Some visitors write about women who are not birth mothers, but who are like a mother to them.

Beth from Roscommon, Michigan U.S.A.

My mother is my hero because she's smart, thoughtful and the most unselfish person I've ever met. I think she deserves recognition for that alone. Believe me, she is a hero!

Sasha from Fort Clayton, Panama

My hero is my mother. The reason she is my hero is because she has always taught me to never give up. She has told me to go for my dreams and to never give up. I have and will always love her. Thanks a lot Mom! I love you, Sasha

Throughout the ages, women have given birth to and nurtured the children of the world. Women have also founded ideas and movements. "Mother" can mean "give rise to" as much as "to be a parent." Many women are heroes who inspired or led a change in the world in some important way. The stories of the following women reflect the best contributions of womankind.
