  • Self-Made Man: My Year Disguised as a Man is a 2006 book by journalist Norah Vincent, recounting an 18-month experiment in which she disguised herself as a man—"Ned"—and then integrated into traditionally male-only venues, such as a bowling league and a monastery. She described this as "a human project" about learning. She states at the beginning that she is a lesbian but not transgender. In the book, she describes her experiences as a man in strip clubs, on dates, and as part of a men's support group. In order to effectively pose as a man, Vincent acquired a buzz cut and flattened her chest using a small sports bra. She also hired a makeup artist to fake a five o'clock shadow and trained for months to imitate a deeper male voice. She changed her diet and exercise regime to "bulk up" with more upper-body muscle. Vincent joined a men's bowling team, where she says "[the men] just took me in ... no questions asked." She eventually became friends with them, even coming along to strip clubs and dating women who had no idea of her true sex. She later revealed that she was actually female to the men, who "took it well." Vincent also recorded Self-Made Man as an audiobook for Penguin Highbridge. Vincent wrote about how the only time she had ever been considered excessively feminine was during her stint as a man: her alter ego, Ned, was assumed to be gay on several occasions. Features of herself that had before been seen as "butch" were seen as oddly effeminate. Vincent stated that, after the experiment, she gained more sympathy for the male condition: "Men are suffering. They have different problems than women have, but they don't have it better. They need our sympathy, they need our love, and they need each other more than anything else. They need to be together."

  • 《548일 남장 체험》(영어: Self-Made Man)은 미국의 저널리스트 의 책이다. 그녀가 남성의 삶을 탐구하기 위해 직접 남장을 하고 지낸 18개월 간의 경험을 기록한 수기이다. 노라 빈센트는 페미니스트이자 레즈비언으로서 오랫동안 페미니즘 사상의 옹호자였고 가부장제를 비판하는 데 앞장서왔다. 한때의 흥미 본위의 남장 경험이 계기가 되어 그간 여성의 눈으로 바라보기만 했던 남성성의 실체를 파악해보고자, 남자 '네드'가 되어 남성 사회로 들어가 남자들 틈에서 생활했다. 네드는 스트립 클럽, 수도원, 남성 모임에 가고 여자들과 데이트를 하기도 하며 남자의 감정문화와 욕구, 자아 등을 탐구한다. 출간 당시에는 존 하워드 그리핀의 《블랙 라이크 미》(백인인 그리핀이 흑인 분장을 하고 20세기의 인종차별 실태를 경험한 사실을 담은 에세이)와 비교되었다. 노라가 남장 여행을 했던 배경은 2000년대 중반의 미국이기 때문에, 지금의 한국 독자들에게는 얼른 들어맞지 않는 면이 있다. 그러나 여성이 직접 남성의 입장이 되어 서로를 이해한다는 주제는 현대 페미니즘 역사에서 여전히 독보적인 의의가 있다. 한국에는 위즈덤하우스에서 공경희의 번역으로 출간되었으나, 현재는 절판되었다.
