Description

Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved by Beauty is a deeply personal and revealing biography of a remarkable woman. Written by her granddaughter, Kate Hennessy, this book offers a unique insight into the life of Dorothy Day, a Catholic social activist, writer, and co-founder of a movement dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor. Dorothy Day's life was marked by both great devotion and profound challenge. Before her conversion, she lived a life that she described as "disorderly," but after her conversion, she became a rigorous advocate for the Church. This biography provides a nuanced portrait of a complex and multifaceted individual, full of humor and laughter, yet also driven and dogmatic at times. With a thoroughly researched and intimate approach, Kate Hennessy sheds new light on the life of this American woman, whose story unfolds against the backdrop of New York City and world events spanning from World War I to Vietnam.
