RaveThe Huffington PostPart of me wanted to shut the book before another man did something awful. I didn’t, because I recognized that Braverman, an unflinching journalist, has written something extraordinary ... while we are treated to spell-binding scenes involving dogsleds and blizzards, unlikely friendships and unforgettable characters, at the story’s center is Braverman’s clear-eyed, at times heartbreaking account of navigating a space that is not unique: the wilderness that is the world of men ... What happens to most women are not unimaginable, sensational crimes, but smaller, repeated violations that if not known by us, are fully imaginable. Braverman shows us how they happen, how and why we often dismiss them, and how easily they can strip away a woman’s power, leaving her in sometimes paralyzing self-doubt and fear.
