While a scholarship student at the University of Illinois (1914-16), she read widely among socialist authors and soon joined the Socialist Party.

She sought to aid the poor by establishing urban "hospitality houses" as part of the Catholic Worker movement.

Although her outspoken pacifist views were criticized by Catholic conservatives, she influenced Catholic liberals such as Thomas Merton and Daniel and Philip Berrigan
