☼SYNOPSIS

A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time

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.

☾REVIEW

★★★★

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I guess that my opinion on someone else's live is really not that valid but I enjoyed this a lot so here we go. It really is such an insightful story, especially because people like me really have no idea about how the modeling industry works and the horrible things that happen behind that veil of beauty and perfection. 

To be honest, my expectations were low, I have always been one that was super interested into the whole modeling world and this story kind of tore it apart.

Her writing style was truly amazing and I really loved the way she talked about everything, she did really used the perfect words every time.

I belive that people should read this, we should all be educated into knowing how models lives are when they are expected to be in such high standarts.

I understood what she was talking about, believe it or not for how different our lives are, I felt it. 

Truly an amazing story, its so fucked up, but the voices of women who have gone though stuff like that need to be heard. obviously not just models, but all women should speak up. And we should help each other, to be seen and to be respected.
