Elizabeth Hadley Richardson (1891-1979) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 9, 1891. On September 3, 1921, she married Ernest Hemingway and soon after that they moved to Paris, France. In the fall of 1923, they returned briefly to the United States, where on 10 October, 1923, Hadley gave birth to their son, John Hadley Nicanor Hemingway. In January of the following year, 1924, they returned to Paris. In the spring of 1925, the Hemingways met Pauline Pfeiffer in Paris, an American expatriate. After Hadley discovered that her husband and Pfeiffer were having an affair the marriage fell apart and the Hemingways divorced in January 1927. Among many of Hadley’s friends in Paris was a distinguished American poet, journalist and political writer, the first-ever recipient of a Pulitzer Prize awarded for foreign correspondence, named Paul Mowrer, whom Hadley had known since the spring of 1927. On 3 July, 1933, Hadley and Paul Mowrer were married in London, England, where Mowrer was at the time covering the World Economic Conference. Later that year Hadley and Paul Mowrer returned to the United States permanently. Hadley Mowrer remained on friendly terms with her first husband, Ernest Hemingway, until the very end.
