This Mother's Day Pengallan pays tribute to some strong Mothers throughout history, who did whatever it took to make sure their son[s] were successful. Thanks, Mom.
Olympias of Macedonia & Alexander The Great. Alexander the Great was one of the most successful military commanders of all time, securing an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean to the Himalayan Mountains. He seems to have inherited much of his moxie from mom. Some historians believe that Olympias aided and/or masterminded the assassination of her husband, Philip of Macedon, so that her son could assume the throne.
Mary of Nazareth & Jesus Christ. She not only birthed a man-god, but Mary also did it while remaining a virgin, establishing a precedent that no woman has been able to live up to since.

Ma Barker and her son Fred were killed in 1935 after an intense hours-long shootout with the FBI. According to the FBI, a Tommy gun was found lying in the hands of Ma Barker.
