I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
3.0
After sitting with the book, I understand what it portrays and the intended meaning.
And as powerful as it is, I think the title is misleading and is throwing people off from what they believe the book to be about. Every single summary/video/explanation of this book does it a disservice so let me be clear for anyone else who hasn't read it...
Men are not in this book. There is 0 focus on what men do, any form of misogyny or abuse or how women are treated by them. This book is solely about the lives of these women and their actions as a group and individually in this weird, dystopian world.
I truly enjoyed the book for what it was but I also am a tad frustrated by the un-answered questions.
