Description
Book SynopsisWhen Tracy Crow pledged herself to God, Corps, and Country, women Marines were still a rarity, and gender inequality and harassment were rampant.
Eyes Right is Crow's story. A clear-eyed self-portrait of a troubled teen bootstrapping her way out of a world of alcoholism and domestic violence, it is also a rare inside look at the Marines from a woman's perspective.
Trade Review“A riveting memoir!”—Fred Leebron, author of
Six Figures"What's refreshing about this memoir is the absence of finger-pointing or assignment of blame. Crow tells her story in a clear voice devoid of self-indulgent apologia. With humility and clarity, she covers both the betrayals she encountered and the self-discovery she made in the aftermath of the maelstrom in whose center she found herself."—Lorrie Lykins,
Tampa Bay Times"
Eyes Right provides fascinating details about Marine life, from training exercises in the high desert to the intricacies of relationships with superiors, subordinates and officers."—
Shelf Awareness"You might not know that the female-soldier memoir is a genre. Perhaps you don't know that because so few of these true accounts were written by professional writers like Tracy Crow, enlisted women who later became creative-writing professors."—
Village Voice"Crow's is an engrossing story, and her impeccable storytelling skills bring her battles and triumphs—in the military and at home—vividly to life."—
Publishers Weekly"This book will be of interest to military and Marine Corp historians as well as feminists and female Marines and soldiers."—Therese Nielson,
