Dorothy Day
From Dickinson College Wiki
Dorothy Day was born in Brooklyn, NY on November 8, 1897. In 1906 her family moved to Chicago which is where she first formed her positive impressions of Catholicism, when a friend's mother showed no embarrassment when praying in front of Day. It was also in Chicago where she developed her deep interest in the desolate urban neighborhoods that many people avoid. After receiving a scholarship, she attended the University of Illinios campus at Urbana in 1914, but only lasted two years there. New York became her new home when she moved there after finding a job as a reported for the city's only socialist daily.
