rdfs:comment

Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) was an American journalist, social activist, distributist, anarchist, and devout Catholic convert. In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist Peter Maurin to establish the Catholic Worker movement, a nonviolent, pacifist movement that continues to combine direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. A revered figure within the U.S. Catholic community, Day is being considered for sainthood by the Catholic Church. Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 - November 29, 1980) was a journalist turned social activist (she was an Industrial Workers of the World member) and devout member of the Roman Catholic Church. She became known for her social justice campaigns in defence of the poor, forsaken, hungry and homeless. Alongside Peter Maurin, she founded the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933, espousing nonviolence, and hospitality for the impoverished and downtrodden. Born in 1897, Dorothy Day was raised in a Protestant family and became a Roman Catholic in 1928. She never married, and supported herself and her daughter, Tamar, through work as a free-lance journalist. She is known as the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, though she always gave credit for the founding to Peter Maurin, a fellow activist in causes for the impoverished. Her written work includes 8 books, 350 plus articles for journals and magazines, and over 1,000 articles for The Catholic Worker newspaper. Information for this article came from [1]

n17:abstract

Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 - November 29, 1980) was a journalist turned social activist (she was an Industrial Workers of the World member) and devout member of the Roman Catholic Church. She became known for her social justice campaigns in defence of the poor, forsaken, hungry and homeless. Alongside Peter Maurin, she founded the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933, espousing nonviolence, and hospitality for the impoverished and downtrodden. The movement started with The Catholic Worker newspaper that she and Peter Maurin founded to stake out a neutral, pacifist position in the increasingly war-torn 1930s. Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) was an American journalist, social activist, distributist, anarchist, and devout Catholic convert. In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist Peter Maurin to establish the Catholic Worker movement, a nonviolent, pacifist movement that continues to combine direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. A revered figure within the U.S. Catholic community, Day is being considered for sainthood by the Catholic Church. Born in 1897, Dorothy Day was raised in a Protestant family and became a Roman Catholic in 1928. She never married, and supported herself and her daughter, Tamar, through work as a free-lance journalist. She is known as the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, though she always gave credit for the founding to Peter Maurin, a fellow activist in causes for the impoverished. Her written work includes 8 books, 350 plus articles for journals and magazines, and over 1,000 articles for The Catholic Worker newspaper. Information for this article came from [1]
