| | Penguin Reading Guides | Self-Made Man | Norah Vincent |
 | | Remaking herself as a man named Ned, Vincent exposes the truth by experiencing it; the men she meets, as well as the man she becomes, not only alter her perceptions of the opposite sex forever, but, in doing so, deeply affect her understanding of women and herself. |
 | | Living as a man taught me a lot about the things I most enjoyed about being a woman in the world, things I consider to be the privileges of womanhoodthe emotional freedom, the range of expression, the sexual and social power we can exercise over men. |
 | | When a man does something like this now, I connect again with all the vulnerability that I felt as a man in front of women, and I remember all the conversations I had with the men in my men’s group about their need to take care of and protect women. |
