A Few Good Women: Memoirs of a World War Ii Marine
A Few Good Women is the true story of a group of women who served in the Marine Corps during World War II. They came from different backgrounds, with nothing in common but youth, naivety, health, and a desire to serve their country.

Boot camp training molded them into Marines, united as one and proud of the Corps. Marine Commandant Alexander Vandergrift credited these women with freeing enough men to put the 6th Marine Division into the field.

Laced with humor and wartime nostalgia, this book gives insight to the beginning of women´s military liberation.

"A candid, often graphic, personal account that provides a long-overdue salute to the valiant, innovative women who served their country well."

      Ted Fuller, columnist and author of "Seniors Need 12 Hugs a Day"

"For me, this book was a step back in time, an honest, vivid account of what life was like for Women Marines who served in World War II. The fast-paced dialogue with clear verbal expressions make for a quick and enjoyable read."
      Virginia Allred, USMCWR WWII Past National President, Women Marines Association

"As a former High School Teacher of Compository English, I give it an A+. ´A Few Good Women´ is most interesting, and extremely well written."
      John Egan, USMC, Pearl Harbor survivor
