Join the St. Mary's University Book Club at our next meeting on The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of Dorothy Day.
This inspiring and fascinating memoir, subtitled, “The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist,” The Long Loneliness is
the late Dorothy Day’s compelling autobiographical testament to her
life of social activism and her spiritual pilgrimage. A founder of the
Catholic Worker Movement and longtime associate of Peter Maurin, Dorothy
Day was eulogized in the New York Times as, “a nonviolent social radical of luminous personality.” The Long Loneliness recounts her remarkable journey from the Greenwich Village political and literary scene of the 1920s through her
conversion to Catholicism and her lifelong struggle to help bring about
“the kind of society where it is easier to be good.”
This is a St. Mary's University Women's History Month event.
