Self-Made Man: One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man

Self-Made Man: One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man

<b>A journalist’s provocative and spellbinding account of her eighteen months spent disguised as a man.</b><p>Norah Vincent became an instant media sensation with the publication of <i>Self-Made Man</i>, her take on just how hard it is to be a man, even in a man’s world. Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (<i>Black Like Me</i>), Vincent spent a year and a half disguised as her male alter ego, Ned, exploring what men are like when women aren’t around. As Ned, she joined a bowling team, took a high-octane sales job, went on dates with women (and men), visited strip clubs, and even managed to infiltrate a monastery and a men’s therapy group. At once thought-provoking and pure fun to read, <i>Self-Made Man</i> is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.<br /><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
