“I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother.”
-Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters

“In June 1944, Gellhorn applied to the British government for press accreditation to report on the Normandy landings; her application, like those of all female journalists, was refused. Lacking official press credentials, she drove to the south coast of England and, claiming to be a nurse, was allowed onto an American hospital ship about to depart for France. She promptly locked herself in a bathroom and crossed the Channel as a stowaway. Upon landing two days later, near Omaha Beach, she went ashore with a medical team to help recover wounded soldiers. For breaching military regulations, Gellhorn was subsequently arrested and had her war correspondent accreditation revoked. This did not stop her from hitching a flight to Italy and then continuing to file reports throughout the war for Collier’s. Later, she recalled, “I followed the war wherever I could reach it.” She was the only woman correspondent to land at Normandy on D-Day on 6 June 1944. She was among the first journalists to report from Dachau concentration camp after it was liberated by U.S. troops on 29 April 1945.” Source: Wikipedia. She was also married to Ernest Hemingway from 1940 to 1945.
