Stories and Poems of Women Veterans

226 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ten women veterans, from a WWII Marine to an Army gunner in Iraq, share personal stories of what it's like to be a woman in the U.S. Military. With courage, honesty, wit, and wisdom, they find the words. Finding the Words represents the work of a memoir class taught by Indiana Poet Laureate Shari Wagner and sponsored by the Indiana Writers Center. "In this collection, we are privileged to hear the voices of women from three branches of the Military, women who served from officer, enlisted and warrant officer ranks, in Active and Reserve Components and in eras and theaters from World War II to today. Different inner drives led them to serve; different motivations pushed them to tell their stories. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the diversity of women veterans' experiences and voices." --Kayla M. Williams, author of Love My Rifle More Than You: Young and Female in the U.S. Army and Plenty of Time When We Get Home: Love and Recovery in the Aftermath of War
