I Who Have Never Known Men is a curious selection for BookTok to have rallied behind. Rather than attempting to answer the many why’s and when’s and how’s, it is a powerful but bleak, existential examination of what makes us human and, more specifically, a woman in a world devoid of all societal constructs.
