Here, this remarkable woman tells of her life as a radial young journalist in the 1920s; of her momentous conversion to Catholicism that ended a bohemian lifestyle and common-law marriage; and of her unrelenting efforts toward peace, racial justice, and the cause of the poor and the outcast. Day became an inspiration to such figures as Thomas Merton, Michael Harrington, and Cesar Chavez....A true spiritual hero--a journalist, activist, and cofounder of the Catholic Worker Movement--[she] was considered by many to be a modern saint.
