When she died in 1980, Dorothy Day was called " the mos significant, interesting and influential person in the history of American Catholicism" (Commonweal), and "a non-violent social radical of luminous personality" ( The New York Times). As co-funder in 1933 (with the French peasant philosopher Peter Maurin) of the Cahtolic Worker movement, and for almost fifty years editor and publisher of its newspaper, she applied the Gospels to a sweeping radical critique of our economic, social, and political system, and addressed the mos urgen issues of our time: poverty, labor, justice, civil liberties, and disarmament. She saw the movement as an affirmation of life and sanity, and a way to "bring about the kind of society where it is easier to be good".
The selections from her several books, her published articles, and her columns in The Catholic worker are a revelation of a remarkable and redemptive life, from her conversion to Catholicism in 1926 (which shoked her radical friends) to he later years of "retirement", when other ran the paper for her. The writing is meditative, ironical, combative, filled with love for the extensive Catholic Worker family, and suffused with her sense of the "holy sublimity of the everyday".
