And sure enough, in the Corps she became a respected public affairs officer and military journalist--one day covering tank maneuvers or beach assaults, the next interviewing the secretary of the navy. But success didn't come without a price.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen Crow pledged herself to God, Corps, and Country, women Marines were still a rarity, and gender inequality and harassment were rampant. Determined to prove she belonged, Crow always put her career first--even when, after two miscarriages and a stillborn child, her marriage to another Marine officer began to deteriorate. And when her affair with a prominent general was exposed--and both were threatened with court-martial--Crow was forced to re-evaluate her loyalty to the Marines, her career, and her family.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEyes Right\u003c\/em\u003e 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. Her memoir, which includes two Pushcart Prize-nominated essays, evokes the challenges of being a woman and a Marine with immediacy and clarity, and in the process reveals how much Crow's generation did for today's military women, and at what cost.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTracy Crow is an assistant professor of creative writing at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the nonfiction editor of \u003cem\u003ePrime Number \u003c\/em\u003emagazine.
