Shoot Like a Girl by Mary Jennings Hegar
On July 29, 2009, Air National Guard major Mary Jennings MJ Hegar was shot down while on a Medevac mission on her third tour in Afghanistan. Despite being wounded, she continued to fight and saved the lives of her crew and their patients. But soon she would face a new battle: to give women who serve on the front lines the credit they deserve.‘A stirring story of bravery that also captures our humanityMajor Hegar will move you with her story, her grit, her valor. And her heart. From the battlefield to the courtroom, this is a story of service and determination.’ GAYLE TZEMACH LEMMON, New York Times-bestselling author of Ashley’s War: The Untold Story of a Team of Women Soldiers on the Special Ops Battlefield
‘Major Mary Jennings Hegar has established her warrior credentials, joining an elite group of American service members who have bravely served our nation in combat. In Shoot Like a Girl, Major Hegar shares her remarkable experience on the front lines both overseas and at home—from exchanging fire with the Taliban and saving her comrades in Afghanistan, to fighting to open all combat positions to women in the military.’ SENATOR JOHN McCAIN
‘From her decorated service in Afghanistan to the courtrooms on the home front, MJ Hegar's story is one of incredible courage, patriotism, ambition, and resilience. Shoot Like a Girl is not only an excellent read, but more important also a book of great historical and academic significance. It is simply a must read for anyone interested in military culture and the integration of women in military organizations.’ ROBERT EGNELL, Head of the Department of Security, Strategy, and Leadership at the Swedish Defence University
