Dorothy Day

    Dorothy Day était une journaliste et activiste sociale américaine, devenue une fervente catholique convertie. Dans les années 1930, elle a cofondé le mouvement Catholic Worker avec Peter Maurin. Ce mouvement pacifiste et non violent continue de combiner l'aide directe aux pauvres et aux sans-abri avec l'action directe non violente en leur nom, s'établissant comme une figure vénérée au sein de la communauté catholique américaine.
