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.

It is a tough book to write a review for. If nothing else, it is compelling. There is no particular insight about anything, but it was definitely personal and painted a semi-coherent picture about the life of an uber-hottie. It gives a glimpse into a small section of a world I do not and cannot know.

There are a lot of interesting gaps and incongruences. The more "poetic" statements in the book are pretty laughable, and many points and conclusions are pretty vapid. But! If I were to publish my diaries, it would be similar.

Over all, this would have taken a lot of courage to write and publish, and Emily should be applauded for the having done it. The narration was fantastic, great cadence, tone, and annunciation.

It is a good read, not 5 stars though. I think it probably had to be that way. The way it constantly jumps around and half tells stories works really well for the subject matter.

It is not bad. An extremely pleasant read!
