This is a wonderful short biography of my great-aunt, Rose Schneiderman. The surviving members of her family (2 nieces, one nephew and a number of great-grand and great-great grand nephews and nieces) are very proud of her, and most of us remember her well.
One correction - as far as I know, the famous "bread....and roses" quote is generally cited from her speech after the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. If she did deliver the line earlier, it would be interesting to find out the source of the reference above.
I am also seeking a picture, used in her book, of two women dressed as "Bon Ami" cleaning symbols and holding a banner reading "Politics dirty? Call in the Cleaning women!" One of the women was Rose's youngest sister, Jane (or known as Jenny), who was my grandmother. If you know of a source for a print of this picture, please respond. Thanks!
