"After a middle-class Republican childhood and a few years as a Communist sympathizer, Dorothy Day converted to Catholicism and became an anomaly in American life for almost fifty years. As an orthodox Catholic, political radical, and a rebel who courted controversy, she attracted three generations of admirers. [This biography examines her life and work, including] challenging the draft and the war in Vietnam, [criticizing] capitalism and foreign policy, and [being] as skeptical of modern liberalism as political conservatism"--Publisher marketing.
