Male Female

So a book I'm reading right now is called I Who Have Never Known Men. I got it because I saw a lot of people talking about it on TikTok and on different social media platforms in general. I've been reading it for a few weeks now because I'm quite a slow reader, unfortunately, so it might take me a while to finish it. The book itself is essentially speculative fiction. It discusses a potential future in which women are locked up and essentially have no contact with the outside world or with men and haven't had that for about 15 years. They are trying to put together whatever memories they have of the world before being imprisoned, as well as trying to devise a plan to escape their conditions. I really enjoy it, and I usually read a lot of speculative fiction and dystopian novels, so it is quite up my alley. I'm really looking forward to finishing it and seeing how and what these women end up doing.

It’s talking about a potential future in which women are locked up and essentially have no contact with the outside world or with men and haven’t had that for about 15 years. And they’re trying to first of all put together whatever memories they have of the world before being imprisoned as well as try to put together a plan to escape whatever conditions they’re in. I really enjoy it and I do usually read a lot of speculative fiction and dystopian novels so it is quite up my alley. I’m really looking forward to finishing it and to see how and what these women end up doing.
