A thoughtful, entertaining piece of first-person investigative journalism . . . Self-Made Man transcends its premise altogether. . . . So rich and so audacious . . . [I was] hooked from Page 1. (David Kamp, The New York Times Book Review)
Vincents account of how she became a man is undeniably fascinating. (Los Angeles Times Book World)
Eye-opening . . . Self-Made Man will make many women think twice about coveting male privilege and make any man feel grateful that his gender is better understood. (The Washington Post)
[Vincent] can be as perspicuous and exact as Joan Didion or Gloria Steinem at nailing a hitherto disregarded truth about the sexes in a single elegant and witty phrase. . . . This is a brave and often fascinating book, with Vincent . . . offering us perspectives that are entirely fresh and new. (The Times,London)
