Martha Gellhorn

Martha Ellis Gellhorn (November 8, 1908 – February 15, 1998) was an American novelist, travel writer, and journalist, considered by the London Daily Telegraph, among others, to be one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century. She reported on virtually every major world conflict that took place during her 60-year career. Gellhorn was also the third wife of American novelist Ernest Hemingway, from 1940 to 1945, a marriage marked by resentment and conflict. At the age of 89, ill and almost completely blind, she committed suicide. The Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism is named after her.

Martha Gellhorn in The War That Came Early
Martha Gellhorn had traveled to Spain with Ernest Hemingway. Chaim Weinberg and Mike Carroll discussed that fact and naively expressed envy for Hemingway and Gellhorn's married life in Cuba.
