She was a journalist, activist, single mother, convert, Catholic laywoman, and co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement. \u003cbr\u003e A lifelong radical who took the gospels at their word, Dorothy Day lived among the poor as one of them, challenging both church and state to build a better world for all people. Steeped in prayer, the liturgy, and the spiritual life, she was jailed repeatedly for protesting poverty, injustice, and war. Through it all, she created a sense of community and remained down-to-earth and humanly approachable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To have known Dorothy Day was to have experienced not only her charm and humanity, but the purposefulness of her life.

Each volume offers a compelling and honest narrative of the life of an important twentieth or twenty-first century Catholic.
