The Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism was established in 1999, and in 2007 the US Postal Service honored Gellhorn in a first-class rate postage stamp, among four other twentieth-century journalists.

Gellhorn was married to Ernest Hemingway in the 1940s, although the couple struggled due to Gellhorn's frequent absences on reporting assignments, and would divorce in 1945. Gellhorn continued to write through the ensuing decades, working for the "Atlantic Monthly" and covering the Vietnam War and the Arab-Israel conflicts in the 1960s and 1970s, and the civil wars in Central America in the 1970s.

Two photographs 5 x 7 inches, one 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine to Fine.
