Strong-willed, self-made, and modern, Martha Gellhorn (1908-98) paved the way for women in journalism, though she has too long been relegated to simply being "Ernest Hemingway's third wife." In this curated collection of Gellhorn's letters, this intrepid war correspondent shares her witty and astute observations with such figures as H.G. Wells, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bertrand de Jouvenal, General James M. Gavin, and of course Hemingway, even as she works for America's Federal Emergency Relief Administration and covers the Spanish Civil War.
