To read this collection of the published work of Dorothy Day is to be drawn back into the world of faith and work that defined her life and the Catholic Worker movement she created.--The New York Times

There is no better introduction to Dorothy Day . . .--Jim Forest, author, Love Is the Measure.
This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Dorothy Day (1897-1980)--co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, and one of the most inspiring figures of recent history. By her lifelong option for the poor and her devotion to active nonviolence, Day fashioned a new face for the gospel in our time. In 2000 the Vatican recognized her cause for canonization, and she was officially termed "Servant of God." To mark the occasion, Orbis is pleased to issue an anniversary edition of Dorothy Day: Selected Writings, widely recognized as the essential and authoritative guide to her life and work. Robert Ellsberg is the author of All Saints: Daily Reflections on Saints, Prophets, and Witnesses for Our Time and The Saints' Guide to Happiness. He is the editor-in-chief of Orbis Books.
