In 1933, Day founded the Catholic Worker Movement with Peter Maurin. The Catholic Worker Movement was a radical Catholic organization that provided food, shelter, and clothing to the poor and homeless. The movement also published a newspaper, The Catholic Worker, which advocated for social justice and nonviolence.

Day was a controversial figure throughout her life. She was criticized by some for her radical views and her association with communists and anarchists. However, she was also admired by many for her compassion and her dedication to the poor. Day died in 1980, but her legacy continues to inspire social activists around the world.

This book is a comprehensive biography of Day, drawing on her own writings, the writings of those who knew her, and extensive archival research. It is a fascinating and inspiring account of the life of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to fighting for justice and compassion.
