Author Kate Hennessy, granddaughter and biographer of Dorothy Day, will be in Milwaukee leading book talks at both Alverno College and Marquette University. Her book, The World Will be Saved by Beauty, provides a look inside the family of the revered activist now being considered for sainthood. The events, which are free and open to the public, will take place on Tuesday, February 21 at 2 p.m. in Alverno College’s Bucyrus Conference Center, and Wednesday, February 22 at 2:30 p.m. in Marquette University’s Raynor Memorial Libraries.

Day was a social activist, a pacifist and co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement. A controversial figure, Day was named a “great American” by Pope Francis in his 2015 speech to Congress. The youngest of Day’s grandchildren, Hennessy draws upon her own relationship with her grandmother, as well as letters, diaries and interviews to give readers a never-before-seen look into Day’s private life. Hennessy’s talk will be a reflective and heartfelt discussion of Day and her legacy.

Copies of Hennessy’s book will be available for purchase and signing at Alverno College. For more information or to register for the event at Alverno, please email academic.excellence@alverno.edu. For more information or to register for the event at Marquette University, please visit marquette-hennessy.eventbrite.com.
