Describing her as "a distinguished Anglican writer," the Catholic Herald asked the mystery novelist and playwright Dorothy Sayers to contribute to a forum on the fiftieth anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's encyclical RerumNovarum. A note at the end warned readers that the article had been taken over the telephone and might include "deviations from Miss Sayers' exact wording."
Her contributionappeared in the issue of 9 May 1941. The Catholic Herald published a short, admiring obituary when she died in December, 1957.
