While I mostly enjoyed this autobiography by Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement (newspaper, hospitality houses, etc.), I preferred her book [b:Loaves and Fishes|203981|Loaves and Fishes|Dorothy Day|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387732613l/203981._SY75_.jpg|1702507], where she talks more about the founding and functioning of the CW and less of her own life.
There were also a few random thoughts sown here and there that I disagreed with - for instance, Day makes a comment about how women are incomplete without a husband. The book was published in 1952 but, honestly, that's no excuse. Plenty of women before that time had been single and fulfilled - particularly Christian ones who understand that God created us first and foremost for Himself, not marriage.
She also referred to herself as a barren woman, though she has a daughter. This was not only factually inaccurate, but seemed inconsiderate toward those who truly are barren.
"Most of our life is unimportant, filled with trivial things from morning till night. But when it is transformed by love, it is of interest even to the angels." p 257… (mais)
