Bread & Roses plot

"A survivor for whom mere survival was not enough"

The life of New Zealander Sonja Davies is not easy. She has an 'illegitimate' child, has difficulty finding work as a woman and almost dies of tuberculosis. During the Second World War she works as a nurse. In the 1950s she gains national fame as a pioneer in the field of political activism and in particular women's rights.
