| Samenvatting: | Dorothy Day ( 1897 - 1980) was a prominent reformer and social organizer who founded a radical Christian movement committed to working for justice, eradicating poverty, and helping the needy. Day was a living contradiction. This book offers a detailed portrait of this complicated woman, unprecedented in its intimacy, and explores the effects of her powerful legacy on her daughter and grandchildren. A heroine for the religious and nonreligious alike, Dorothy Day was named a "great American" by Pope Francis and has been recognized as a Servant of God by the Catholic Church, the first step toward caninization. In a world preoccupied with materialism and the accumulation of wealth, she is a model for constructive action. Hennessy's work brings this most modern of modern Catholics into the twenty-first century, presenting a loving, intimate account of an undersung champion of social justice. |
