Mary Welsh Hemingway (1908–1986) was an American journalist and writer who became Ernest Hemingway’s fourth wife in 1946 and remained his partner until his death in 1961. Having worked as a foreign correspondent during World War II, she brought professional experience and organizational skill to Hemingway’s later life, accompanying him during his final years in Cuba, Europe, and Idaho. After Hemingway’s death, Mary Welsh Hemingway played a central role in shaping his posthumous reputation by editing and overseeing the publication of several unfinished works.
