Amazon.com

The women who served as combat correspondents in World War II were a capable, gutsy, and inquisitive bunch. Their bravery snapping photos from bomb-laden B-17s over North Africa or interviewing blood-soaked soldiers fresh from Iwo Jima was matched only by their pluck in overcoming sexist double standards and patronizing attitudes. To a one, they were determined to prove their mettle at a time when "few newspaperwomen had made it from the society desk into the newsroom," as author Nancy Caldwell Sorel points out. Sorel (whose witty First Encounters appeared in The Atlantic for years) tracked down dozens of these women, most well into or past their 70s, and has combined candid interviews with rigorous research to piece together their amazing wartime stories.

The Women Who Wrote the War follows the chronology of the conflict through the reporters' eyes, beginning as early as a 1931 interview of Hitler by Dorothy Thompson Lewis (wife of Sinclair), in which she called the future Führer "inconsequent ... voluble, ill-poised, insecure." (Shortly after her "Little Man" rose to power, she would be expelled.) Tough and opinionated Collier's correspondent Martha Gellhorn, another reporter married to a famous writer, frustrated her new husband, Ernest Hemingway, shortly after D-Day--defying military orders, she sneaked onto the beaches of Normandy just ahead of him, pitching in as a stretcher-bearer to get her story. Gripping and well documented, Sorel's work ably captures the excitement of both the war and the exploits of the women who reported on it. --Paul Hughes -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

From Booklist

World War II is a story without end that can be told from countless perspectives, and Sorel, a contributor to Esquire and the Atlantic, has chosen one that is as fascinating as it is overlooked: the unique vantage point of women war correspondents. Their battle began at home, where they had to convince skeptical male editors of their mettle, and it continued on the battlefield. Treated either dismissively or overprotectively, they were also the objects of much sexual and romantic desire, but these unconventional and courageous women persevered, suffering all the hardships and horrors of war in Europe and the Pacific, and striving to tell the truth about what they witnessed. Sorel, who never fails to relish a telling anecdote, deftly weaves together more than a dozen profiles of such trailblazers as Sigrid Schultz, Berlin bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune; photographer Margaret Bourke-White; Martha Gellhorn; Virginia Cowles; Sonia Tomara; Lee Miller; and Dickey Chapelle, who was later killed in combat in Vietnam. By insightfully presenting both the private and professional sides of her subjects' lives, Sorel has written a many-faceted and refulgent chapter in the history of women, war, and journalism.

Nancy Sorel's book is a masterpiece. She provides so much information and so many insights one never encounters in other books dealing with WWII. It's time these brave women were recognized for their part in the war. Reading the book reminded me of the WASPS who went so long unrecognized until General Hap Arnold went to bat for them. That term, "It's a man's war" is no longer valid, thanks to Nancy Sorel.

Once in a while there comes along a book that informs where there has been a void, delights when each page is read,. surprises with revelations that you do not expect and is full of surprises that you do not know. This is just that type of book. I am a nut about world war 2 but did not know that women did so much in so many locations over the entire length of the war to bring those events to your doorstep in your friendly favorite newspaper. It just amazes me how many of them were in harms way, and just how they had to pretend to be men in order to get their stories accepted and published. This is a wonmderful, informative and educational piece about a segment of world war 2 that you hear little about. It is just cause that someone has finally written about these womens' deeds and gave credit where credit is due. This is a wonderful book; worth three times the price asked for and should be on anyones' buying list who is serious about learning about all sides of the war, and who really did what and when. The women here deserve a hell of lot opf credit; thank god they finally got some. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and fully recommend it to anyone interested in this genre.

I enjoyed this book greatly -- the sort of book you look forward to coming home to read after work. I only wish there'd been more of a cultural overview, that the focus had been somewhat less on the individuals and rather more on the overall event. We're told who linked up with whom romantically, but not enough about what those often temporary and ex-marital relationships meant in the context of a woman's ethical training in those years, or how the norms were changed by the war. Perhaps that kind of summary is too much to ask from this book, but I would have enjoyed finding out how the experiences of these women fit into and changed the standards for women in that time. But the book is definitely worth reading.
