		Celebrated American war reporter Martha Gellhorn (1908–1998) was a prolific letter-writer, sharing with a circle of cherished intellectual friends her declarations against war and poverty; her frustrations in an almost exclusively male profession; her hopes for success as a novelist; and disappointments in love.
		Particularly moving is Gellhorn's troubled passage into old age and isolation in the African bush, before being rediscovered as a grande dame of journalism by a young London literary crowd, in whose company she delighted.
		Gellhorn's correspondence from the 1930s and '40s reveals a strong desire to be in the thick of pitched battles.

		Gellhorn was born in St Louis in 1908 to a family of liberal campaigners for social reform.
		Gellhorn convinced Hemingway to accompany her to Spain, then in the throes of civil war, where her implicit support of the Spanish Republic and hatred of fascism, and her ability to vividly portray the horrors of war through “direct, concrete and deeply felt” writing, combined to outshine Hemingway's self-centred reportage.
		Gellhorn rounded out her last decades reporting on the British miners' strike and the Greenham Common women protesting against nuclear weapons, the US-sponsored death squads in El Salvador, the lethal idiocy of nuclear weapons, the US invasion of Panama, the anti-Turkish immigrant pogroms in Germany.

	"I didn't like sex at all" \| Salon Books
		Martha Gellhorn was a gorgeous, brilliant foreign correspondent once married to Hemingway.
		Given Gellhorn's iconic status, perhaps the greatest virtue of Caroline Moorehead's dexterously edited selection of her letters is the way it depicts the irascibly human personality behind the legend.
		Though Gellhorn was usually on the side of the angels when it came to politics, she could also be willfully naive on the subject of Israel and downright repellent when speaking about the Arabs.

	Remembering Martha Gellhorn
		Gellhorn began her career as a journalist during the Spanish Civil War, arriving in Madrid in 1937 with nothing but a knapsack, fifty dollars, and an assignment to cover the conflict for Collier's Weekly.
		Ironically, during her lifetime, Martha Gellhorn was better known for her brief marriage to Hemingway than for her long career as a writer.
		Nearly a decade after her death in 1998, we hope these articles will help demonstrate that Gellhorn was a writer and reporter deserving of serious attention in her own right, one whose style and ambition have influenced subsequent generations of journalists.
