Description
For over a year and a half, Norah Vincent lived a life disguised as a man, adopting the persona of Ned to explore the world of masculinity. She immersed herself in male-dominated environments, from the camaraderie of a bowling league to the high-pressure world of sales. Vincent also frequented sex clubs, dated women seeking love, and infiltrated all-male communities, including a men's therapy group and a monastery. Her journey ended with a profound understanding of the rigid codes and rituals that govern masculinity. Through her experiences, Vincent gained a unique insight into the lives of men, exposing the pressures and expectations that shape their behavior. Her observations are both fascinating and thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of masculinity. This book is a candid and introspective account of Vincent's experiences, revealing the intricacies of a world often hidden from view.
