Book Chapter
Annotation
Moreland discusses Hemingway’s resistance to the increasing number of women venturing into the male arena of warfare, as evidenced in his turbulent marriages with war correspondents Martha Gellhorn and Mary Welsh and his fiction. Focuses on Catherine Barkley’s withdrawal from the warfront to be a wife and mother, Dorothy Dix’s confinement to the domestic sphere despite her occupation as war correspondent, and Pilar’s combat role as observer rather than participant.
