"The Revolution" was a newspaper established by women's rights activists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in New York City. It was published weekly between January 8, 1868, and February 17, 1872. With a combative style that matched its name, it primarily focused on women's rights, especially prohibiting discrimination against women's suffrage in the United States, and women's suffrage in general. The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, recognizing the right of women to vote, was drafted by the newspaper's founders, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1878, and ratified in 1920.

The Lawrence textile strike (often referred to as the "Bread and Roses" strike) that took place in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in 1912 was one of the most significant struggles in U.S. labor history due to its level of organization and collaboration across ethnic and gender lines. Thousands of largely female workers walked off the job due to a reduction in their pay; Workers maintained soup kitchens and nurseries for children and meetings were simultaneously translated into nearly 30 languages. It began when a few hundred polish women discovered that their employer had reduced their wages. They shut off their machines in the textile mills and walked out, alerting other workers by parading from mill to mill, yelling “short pay” in Polish. The strike spread rapidly through the town, growing to more than twenty thousand workers. The pay cut was just the final straw; it was preceded by years of terrible working conditions in the Lawrence textile industry. About one-third of workers in the textile mills died before the age of 25. Many lived in crowded and dangerous apartment buildings, and child mortality rates in Massachusetts were the highest in the country at the time. The phrase "Bread and Roses" originated from a speech given by American women's suffrage activist Helen Todd: "Bread for all, and roses too". It speaks to the idea that workers deserve not only bread (a metaphor for basic necessities like food and shelter) but also roses (a metaphor for beauty, culture, and the things that bring joy and fulfillment to life).
