*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*

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 s first essay collection needs to be read by everyone [...] both page-turning and moving as hell - Amy Schumer

Dazzling - Observer

Ratajkowski brings nuanced insight to questions about empowerment versus commodification of women s bodies and sexuality. Blending cultural criticism and personal stories, My Body is smart and powerful - Time Magazine

Raw, nuanced and beautifully written. A moving and enlightening experience to join a woman openly exploring such deep parts of her physical self via the written word. A truly impressive debut - Emma Gannon

Excellent [...] Ratajkowski writes with curiosity, intellect and acute awareness - Harper s Bazaar

Superb [...] it feels revolutionary - Telegraph

I admire and envy her artistry - Guardian
_______________

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.
