Ok, so the Lawrence textile strike is almost as important to me as the Ludlow strike, and it should be to you too.

The Lawrence Textile Strike of 1912 was a long and bitter battle, led primarily by female immigrant laborers, for the rights of a human to have more than just the bread on their plate. It was a massive strike, involving more than twenty thousand workers and lasting more than two months of bitter cold. “ … defying the assumptions of conservative trade unions within the American Federation of Labor (AFL) that immigrant, largely female and ethnically divided workers could not be organized. “ (per Wikipedia)

Here are the words of Utah Phillips, describing the strike:

“…Wages hours and conditions, that’s important. But it takes more than those three things to be a woman, it takes more than those three things to lead any kind of decent human life. The next day, parading down the street, on two years of parades, a newspaper reporter noticed that there was a young woman carrying a large sign that said ‘Bread, yes. But roses too.’ and Lawrence became the Bread and Roses strike.” - Utah Phillips on the strike
