  1. 1. Bread And Roses

    Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream

    A lively narrative of the 1912 textile strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts, tracing how thousands of largely immigrant millworkers—many of them women—walked off the job after a wage cut and transformed local hardship into a national labor cause; the book follows the strike’s grassroots organizing, cross‑ethnic solidarity, political and media battles, and hard-won concessions, while also examining the social and cultural forces that shaped early 20th‑century American labor and the enduring demand for both economic security and human dignity.
