V.V.'s Eyes is a 1913 novel by Henry Sydnor Harrison, which was the second-best selling book in the United States for 1913, and is considered one of Harrison's best novels, along with 1911's Queed.[1]

Later criticism has considered the novel (and other work of Harrison) to have pro-feminist themes.[2][3][4][5][6]
