Judith Mackrell Picador £20
Rating:
Until the 1930s, female journalists were expected to know their place, which was mainly on the fashion or problem pages of the newspapers that employed them. But as the international situation darkened and war became imminent, a handful of remarkable women decided that they could not continue to sit in the office writing about hem lengths while the world went up in flames.
In this hugely entertaining and informative book, Judith Mackrell tells the stories of six intrepid women who demanded the right to risk their lives reporting from the front line.
Two of Mackrell’s subjects have been written about many times before. There is Martha Gellhorn, the hard-drinking, fast-talking American who was married to Ernest Hemingway and reporting on the war for Collier’s magazine.
