Jacqueline Harpman's 'I Who Have Never Known Men' is a reminder not judge a book by its cover -- French novel "I Who Have Never Known Men" was out of print since the early 2000s, until it's new translation in 2019. This year, the book hit the New England bestseller list multiple times and became a phenomenon on BookTok, is listed on the Goodreads Most Popular Books of 2025 list, and has been called "'The Handmaids Tale' for Gen Z". On the 30th anniversary of the book's publishing, young women are discovering the story as an essential piece of feminist literature that is as relevant now as it was when published. Talking to academics, as well as young readers themselves, the piece explores the book's delayed impact on the mass American readership, and why it is resonating with readers now more than ever.
