bread and roses n. food and beauty, considered as fundamental human rights; used to express the belief that everyone should have access not only to basic sustenance, but also to the finer things in life, such as education, art, literature, etc. [Probably after bread and circuses n.] The phrase was adapted from a slogan in the fight for women's rights (see quot. 1911¹), which inspired James Oppenheim's poem (quot. 1911²). It was further popularized by the so-called Bread and Roses Strike, the textile strike which took place in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in January–March 1912, and which became associated with workers' rights to roses (beauty) as well as bread (sustenance).
