Martha Gellhorn

Martha Gellhorn was one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century, reporting from almost every major global conflict from the Spanish Civil War to the US invasion of Panama. She was known for her focus on the human cost of war, often writing from the perspective of the victims rather than the generals. Her fearless approach and refusal to be sidelined as a woman in a male-dominated field paved the way for generations of female journalists. Her legacy is defined by her empathy, sharp prose, and refusal to compromise on the truth.
