Another Day at Work

The phrase “Bread & Roses” originated with U.S. suffragist Helen Todd in 1910:  “helping forward the time when life’s Bread, which is home, shelter and security, and the Roses of life, music, education, nature and books, shall be the heritage of every child that is born…”

Today the phrase signifies workers’ rights & the dignity of all labor – from coal miners & shopkeepers to dancers, farmers, & ‘knowledge workers.’
