Dorothy Day

    Dorothy Day fu una giornalista e attivista sociale americana, diventata fervente cattolica convertita. Negli anni '30, insieme a Peter Maurin, fondò il movimento Catholic Worker. Questo movimento pacifista e non violento continua a unire l'aiuto diretto ai poveri e ai senzatetto con l'azione diretta non violenta a loro favore, affermandosi come una figura venerata nella comunità cattolica statunitense.
