I Who Have Never Known Men

SISTERHOOD. SECRETS. SURVIVAL.

Discover the haunting, heart-breaking post-apocalyptic TikTok sensation.

Deep underground, thirty-nine women are kept in isolation in a cage. Above ground, a world awaits. Has it been abandoned? Devastated by a virus?

• Watched over by guards, the women have:
  • No memory of how they got there
  • No notion of time
  • Only vague recollection of their lives before

As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl—the fortieth prisoner—sits alone, an outcast in the corner.

Soon, she will prove to be the key to the others' escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground. She is the woman who will never know men.
