Written immediately after the war,Love Goes to Pressopened in London in June 1946 and in New York in January 1947. Then a relief for the survivors of Blitzkrieg and ration cards, it is now a devilishly entertaining portrayal of the Battle of the Sexes. This romantic farce, published here for the first time, is set on the Italian front in World War II, where two women war correspondentssmart, sexy, and famous for scooping their male competitorsstruggle to balance their professional lives with their love lives. The American literary tradition is rife with stories of "men without women," but inLove Goes to PressGellhorn and Cowles have created a world of "women without men."

(In 1990, at the age of 81, she interrupted a snorkeling trip to Belize to witness the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Panama; her report appeared inGranta.)
