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.
