Summary
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 grey area between consent and abuse。
Nuanced， unflinching， and incisive， My Body marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence。

Great insight into women。

I should confess I read a sampler from the publisher， not the full book--and I most likely won't read the collection， since I have a sense of what it says。 But Ratajkowski is a good writer， and while her experiences place her in a small and of course wildly successful class， they also reveal how success can have its underside even at that level， how relying on one's body to get ahead means an odd relationship with *being* embodied， and these trade offs are ones that we as a culture are partly re I should confess I read a sampler from the publisher， not the full book--and I most likely won't read the collection， since I have a sense of what it says。 But Ratajkowski is a good writer， and while her experiences place her in a small and of course wildly successful class， they also reveal how success can have its underside even at that level， how relying on one's body to get ahead means an odd relationship with *being* embodied， and these trade offs are ones that we as a culture are partly responsible for， and ones that reveal how patriarchy controls everyone in its orbit。 Very revealing and personal， but with much food for thought even living a very different life。 Fascinating and worth picking up。 Will be curious to see where her career goes from here！ 。。。more
