About this listen

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 21, 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 audiobook.

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.

I loved Emily's narration. I'm not a model but I felt this book hit close to home. It talks about experiences many women go through in regards to their body/appearance as a measure of worth and the messages that get engraved in us early on in life by family,popular media and culture.

It also builds up well to how these beliefs are unhelpful and toxic both for women and men and how they set the precedent for sexual abuse against women.

It was a book that brought up emotions and highlights the importance of feminism in a pragmatic way that cannot be ignored or discredited. Thank you Emily for writing this and opening up about your struggles and internal conflicts.
