Title: Hemingway and Women at the Front: Blowing Bridges in A Farewell to Arms, The Fifth Column, and For Whom the Bell Tolls
Author/Creator: Kim Moreland
Publication Details: War + Ink: New Perspectives on Ernest Hemingway s Early Life and Writings, pp.286-323
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.
