4. Norah Vincent
Norah Vincent is a journalist who decided to become a “gender spy.” She went undercover as a man for 18 months, going by the alter ego, Ned Vincent. She wanted to know whether she would be treated any differently if she was perceived to be a man.
Vincent was committed to her transformation, she glued stubble to her face, took voice lessons to speak like a man, and wore a jockstrap to make her physique more realistic.
