The
"Lawrence Textile Strike" or "Bread ans Roses
strike" was a strike of immigrant workers
in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912 led by
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Prompted
by one mill owner's decision to lower wages when a new law shortening
the workweek went into effect in January, the strike spread rapidly
through the town, growing to more than twenty thousand workers at
nearly every mill within a week.
The
strike lasted more than 2 months.
The
slogan "Bread and Roses" originated in a poem of that name
by James Oppenheim, published in The American
Magazine in December 1911, which attributed it to "the
women in the West."

And for all the women in the world, my best wishes
