A Rose Doesn't Come Without Thorns...

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds around my neck."
Emma Goldman, 1869 - 1940

Emma was known as the "rebel woman."
Apparently, she was involved in all sorts of inappropriate
conduct for a woman of her time...
Her anarchist viewpoints landed her in jail more than once.
When she got out, she promptly got involved in the campaign
for Women's Suffrage and Birth Control information.
She was all for Free Love - a hippie before its time.
During the Spanish Civil War, she formed a Committee
to Aid Homeless Spanish Women and Children.
I think I would have liked her :-)

See what you learn when you snap a photo of
the rose in your garden and then look for quotes!
