The Unsung Bravery of Martha Gellhorn

While history often relegates Martha Gellhorn to a single role -- one of Ernest Hemingway's four wives -- this lauded journalist, fiction writer, and war correspondent was an absolute badass. She was on the ground during D-Day, reported during the Vietnam War, and traveled to Panama after the U.S. invasion. In today's episode, Ben, Noel, and Max explore the oft-ignored bravery of Marth Gellhorn... and the ridiculous ways in which Hemingway tried to sabotage her career. Which, for the record, is only one of the reasons Ben finds ol' Ernest overrated.
