Six Women Writers on the Front Lines of World War II

by Judith Mackrell

The untold story of six courageous women who fought their own battle for the right to report on the frontlines of WWII. From Martha Gellhorn, whose husband Ernest Hemmingway became resentful of her ambition and began to undermine her career, to Lee Miller, a fashion model turned photojournalist whose photos were among the first to provide “an eyewitness account” of concentration camp horrors when the world stood in disbelief. Drawing on their courage and creativity to get at the truth of the story, these brave women broke the glass ceiling in journalism.
