Bread and Roses at Bethany: A Chapel Meditation on Matthew 26:6-16
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | April 30, 1991
Because International Women’s Day has its roots in the largely-secular history of organized labor and the international socialist movement, we might well conclude that its celebration in the middle of lent is the result of accident rather than design.
