Surely these women won't lose any more of their beauty and charm by putting a ballot in a ballot box once a year than they are likely to lose standing in foundries or laundries all year round. There is no harder contest than the contest for bread, let me tell you that.

Quote by Rose Schneiderman

She is credited with coining the phrase "Bread and Roses" later used as the title of a poem and set to music and interpreted by several performers.
