General note
Bread and Roses was written by James Oppenheim to commemorate an incident that occurred during a textile strike in Lawrence, Mass. in 1912. The mill workers, mostly women, went on strike to protest the working conditions for children in the mills. Their demand was that no child should be made to work more than 54 hours in a single week. After a lengthy dispute, the strikers won their point. Management retaliated by reducing everyone's work week to 54 hours , with a corresponding cut in pay. The women, who of course couldn't afford such a drastic cutback, went on strike again. "What do these women want? the managers said. "Roses?" The next day the women appeared on the picket lines with signs that said "WE WANT BREAD AND ROSES."
