On January 12, 1912, an army of textile workers stormed out of
the mills in Lawrence, Massachusetts, commencing what has since
become known as the "Bread and Roses" strike. Based on newspaper
accounts, magazine reportage, and oral histories, Watson
reconstructs a Dickensian drama involving thousands of parading
strikers from fifty-one nations, unforgettable acts of cruelty, and
even a protracted murder trial that tested the boundaries of free
speech. A rousing look at a seminal and overlooked chapter of the
past, Bread and Roses is indispensable reading.
