• Sommario/riassunto: Day (1897-1980) began her diaries in 1934, shortly after co-founding the Catholic Worker movement, and kept them up until shortly before she died. Ellsberg, who has worked for the Catholic Workers and edited Day's writing, was invited to edit them as soon as they were unsealed, as per her wishes, in November 2005.
