Memorable Mums in Literature

Mother’s Day is coming up and here at OUP we’ve got a question: who is the most memorable Mother in literature?
Is it a woman like Marilla Cuthbert who came into motherhood late when she adopted a strange little redhead, or one like Mrs Bennet whose poor nerves only desire is to see ‘one of [her] daughters happily settled at Netherfield and all the others equally well married’?

Vote below and make your suggestions for most memorable Mother in the comments!

    Mrs. Wormwood! She hit the double bingo and took the whole family to Cafe Le Ritz!
