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 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.

Loved this book!
I really enjoyed hearing Emily's story and thoughts, especially read by herself. Personal and vulnerable anecdotes mixed with deeper thoughts and feelings. I enjoy her writing style and it made me think, so would definitely recommend.

Great, eye-opening, relatable
Fantastic find, I don’t regret giving it a try AT ALL.
If you think a model can’t be a great writer, you need to read / listen to this more than anyone else.

Real, Raw
It’s easy to dismiss Ratajkowski as a “sex symbol”
but this work places her in the centre of understand sexuality and femininity, the make gaze, complexities of body commodification and much more. Well done to her!
