The Correspondents

Six Women Writers on the Front Lines of World War II

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Judith Mackrell pays tribute to the exploits of six intrepid female journalists, including Lee Miller and Sigrid Schultz, who defied bureaucracy and combat zone bans to send back reports on the war. She explains how they overcame the many obstacles placed in their way, and how they managed to live flamboyantly, mingling with luminaries such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Picasso and Man Ray.
