After reading some biographical literature, many people will give girls such advice: "Just use a genius man to respect him, don't marry him." Because marrying a genius means being the woman behind him forever. However, there are many women in this world who have broken this curse, the most awesome of them is Hemingway's third wife, Martha Gelhorn.
1936 When Galhoun, 28, met Hemingway during her trip to Florida, she had ended her first marriage with a French marquis and began her career as a journalist. Hemingway was already a rising star in the world literary world and published "Farewell to Weapons" and "The Sun Rises As Always" that established his literary world. The two fell in love at first sight, and the identity of the author and the reporter made them believe that they were the soul mates they had been looking for for a long time and soon got together. Four years later, Galehorn became Hemingway's third wife.
Anyone who has read Hemingway's biography knows that Hemingway is a very macho person, and he also has the pride, sensitivity and hot temper of a genius. Logically speaking, with Hemingway's powerful aura, most women do not have the ability to compete with it, but Galhorn's heart is also extremely strong. She did not give up her career because of Hemingway and was always active at the forefront of war correspondents. In 1941, she accepted the invitation from the media to report on the anti-Japanese battlefield in China, and Hemingway accompanied her. Hemingway is a writer, but he also loves the adventure of war correspondents very much. But it has to be said that in this career, his achievements are far inferior to Gaelhorn.
A strong woman like this is naturally not easy to mess with when she had a rift with Hemingway's marriage later. The Hemingway family has a history of mental illness, and many of the family members committed suicide. Hemingway himself also had depression and mania, but he refused to seek medical treatment and relied on drinking to solve his pain. It is conceivable how tormenting this genius was when he was drunk. Once at a friend's party, he got drunk again. Gaelhorn drove and said a few words, and then he hit Gaelhorn with a big mouth. Without saying a word, Galehorn drove directly towards a tree, threw Hemingway and the damaged car there, and drove away.
Hemingway once kept a group of male cats in their apartment. He felt that sterilizing the male cats would damage the dignity of the males, so that the cats were in estrus and screaming made the neighbors uneasy. Once, after Hemingway left home for a few days, Galhorn castrated the cats with his own hands. Hemingway was almost madly angry after returning. The ending of two people living together is also predictable.
In 1945, Galhorn left Hemingway and rushed to the front line to continue her reporting, and their marriage ended. She was the only woman among Hemingway's four wives who abandoned Hemingway. Hemingway has always held a grudge against this and even wrote articles to scold her, but she didn't care at all.
Many people know that Galhorn is Hemingway's third wife, but they don't know that she is also the most famous battlefield female reporter in the world. She has been writing throughout her life and has published many works. During her lifetime, she had covered eight world-famous wars, including the Spanish Civil War, the Finnish War, and World War II, and was known as the world's greatest war correspondent. There is now a Gelhorn News Award in the United States, named after her, and her avatar once appeared on American stamps.
After leaving Hemingway, she got married again and later divorced. She was still fighting on the front line at the age of 81, reporting on the U.S. invasion of Panama. In 1998, 89-year-old Hallgain was seriously ill and blind. She felt that she had lived too long, so she decided to end her life and commit suicide by taking medicine.
She is a footnote on the Hemingway entry, but the other way around. In her Wikipedia entry, Hemingway is just a footnote on her. She was Hemingway's third wife, but in her nearly 90 years of life, she has not been her own.
