She was arrested in a rally for women's sufferage and covered labor movements as a journalist, although she was described as "too religious" to be a Communist.
Although not Flannery O'Conner, she is one of the four subjects of Paul Elie's _The Life You Save May Be Your Own_. While working at a hospital, she seduced an orderly working there. Her affair resulted in a suicide attempt, a pregnancy, and an abortion, described in her novel The Eleventh Virgin. In her stint in the hospital, she learned the "sacrament of duty," and after her abortion, she chose to give birth to her next child, Tamar. She was arrested in a rally for women's sufferage and covered labor movements as a journalist, although she was described as "too religious" to be a Communist. Later in her life she would contribute articles to magazines like America and Commonweal, as well as extensively to newspapers. She described meeting "a genius, a saint, an agitator, a writer, a lecturer, a poor man, and a shabby tramp, all at once," in _A Long Loneliness_. That author of several "Easy Essays" inspired her to start a newspaper and hospitality houses. For ten points, name this woman who, along with Peter Maurin, founded the Catholic Worker movement.
