I first heard "Bread and Roses", sung by Judy Collins, years ago, when I was a younger woman. I am, now, an older woman. Now, as then, I weep listening to this song. The lyrics, the history of it, the musical rendition, the 21st century realities that the struggle continues and my own life experiences bring the tears. Sometimes they are tears of joy, witnessing the baby steps of acceptance, new laws and global support. Sometimes they are tears of deep sadness knowing there is so much more that needs to be accomplished. Thank you, as always, Judy Collins and all. "...The rising of the women means the rising of the race...."

Bread and Roses
As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"
As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men,
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!
As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread.
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.
Yes, it is bread we fight for -- but we fight for roses, too!
As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days.
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
No more the drudge and idler -- ten that toil where one reposes,
But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and roses! Bread and roses!

William Hayes
Very, very beautiful! Does anyone know where there is a written music score of this version with the many different voices?

My wife knew last yrar that her cancer was terminal and she chose this to be played at her funeral, feminist and socialist to her last breath, I am pleased that I introduced her to Judy C longer ago than I care to remember. Even more reason to weep when I hear it now.

Dignity for the workers of the world!

Best version of this is now in the movie "Pride."

I was 17, I believe, when I first heard this song. I already liked JC, but then I saw her walk out on stage of Midnight Special and was transfigured by her presence. Absolutely beautiful. The 1:28 point, with the backup choir, inspires levitation. Thanks for uploading the liberating song. Seriously, it helped in large to create my politics and sensibilities.

I still like this version best. The album cover is great, too.

The Lawrence textile strike was a strike of immigrant workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912 led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Prompted by a two-hour pay cut corresponding to a new law shortening the workweek, the strike spread rapidly through the town, growing to more than twenty thousand workers and involving nearly every mill in Lawrence. The strike united workers from 51 different nationalities.
The Lawrence strike is often referred to as the "Bread and Roses" strike, or, the "strike for three loaves".The phrase "bread and roses" actually preceded the strike, however, appearing in a poem by James Oppenheim published in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1911. However, a 1916 labor anthology, The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest by Upton Sinclair, attributed the phrase to the Lawrence strike and the association stuck. "Bread and roses" has also been attributed to socialist union organizer Rose Schneiderman.
