Dorothy Day(November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) was an American journalist, socialactivist and anarchist who, after a bohemian youth, became a Catholic Christianwithout in any way abandoning her social and anarchist activism. She wasperhaps the best-known political radical in the American Catholic Church.

Day'sconversion is described in her 1952 autobiography, The Long Loneliness. Day wasalso an active journalist, and described her social activism in her writings.In 1917 she was imprisoned as a member of suffragist Alice Paul's nonviolentSilent Sentinels. In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist PeterMaurin to establish the Catholic Worker Movement, a pacifist movement thatcombines direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action ontheir behalf. She practiced civil disobedience, which led to additional arrestsin 1955, 1957, and in 1973 at the age of seventy-five. As part of the CatholicWorker Movement, Day co-founded the Catholic Worker newspaper in 1933, andserved as its editor from 1933 until her death in 1980. In this newspaper, Dayadvocated the Catholic economic theory of distributism, which she considered athird way between capitalism and socialism. Pope Benedict XVI used herconversion story as an example of how to "journey towards faith ... in asecularized environment." In an address before the United States Congress,Pope Francis included her in a list of four exemplary Americans who "builta better future". The Church has opened the cause for Day's possiblecanonization, which was accepted by the Holy See for investigation. For thatreason, the Church refers to her with the title of Servant of God.
