My Body
My Body

Feminism, beauty, power—model's poignant personal essays.

If you're interested in the intersection between fame, beauty standards, and feminism, "My Body" offers a riveting glimpse into these complex issues. Emily Ratajkowski's essays are as intimate as they are eye-opening, making you reconsider the societal lens through which we view women's bodies and autonomy. It's a thought-provoking read that could alter how you perceive celebrity culture and self-image.

Description

A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity. Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture’s commodification of women is the subject of this book. My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski’s life while investigating the culture’s fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women’s sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the gray area between consent and abuse. Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence.
