歷史上的今天,女性爭取自己的權益而喊出「We want bread and roses too」這句口號,象徵著女人不只要經濟保障的生存(麵包),更要有良好工作環境和生活品質(玫瑰)。
"What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist — the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art. You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also. The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too. (qtd. Eisenstein, p32)
