Description

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "My Body offers a lucid examination of the mirrors in which its author has seen herself, and her indoctrination into the cult of beauty as defined by powerful men. In its more transcendent passages . . . the author steps beyond the reach of any 'Pygmalion' and becomes a more dangerous kind of beautiful. She becomes a kind of god in her own right: an artist." ―Melissa Febos, The New York Times Book Review A "MOST ANTICIPATED" AND "BEST OF FALL 2021" BOOK FOR VOGUE TIME ESQUIRE PEOPLE USA TODAY CHICAGO TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES TIMES SHONDALAND ALMA THRILLEST NYLON FORTUNE 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 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 gray area between consent and abuse. Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence. Read more

    • Amazing!!
I only learned of this author a few months ago. I am from the generation of Kate Moss and super thin models being the unattainable norm for beauty. The author is much younger than myself and my generation but it seems that some things never change. She discusses the complexities of womanhood and all things related to our bodies, bodies image, ideal beauty standards and how men play so heavily into all of that. Overall, the author doesn't say this but if I read between the lines well enough, she is pretty angry that basically the same old beauty norms still apply today for women. Little, if any, change towards equality has been established. She is angry that the skinnier she is, the higher her pay check. Her being nude in a video propelled her to the top over night, not having clothes on or being a great model. All of these things seems to make her angry or at least annoyed. She is so relatable on so many levels even though she is hailed as the body of this generation and as an international beauty. All of the complexities of what her parents and society told her about beauty and sexuality are relatable to any woman of any age. In some ways this book heals my soul as a woman who has experienced so many of the same messages she has been told. Yet she is famous, beauty and hailed as the body of this generation and she feels the way I have felt many times in life. But in another way, the book makes me angry as a woman. It just highlights what is still wrong in the world and men and society norms. Even with every millienal out there on the street fighting for women's empowerment; yet. it seems that no matter what, women will never be completely free of the issues around our bodies, beauty and sexuality. Great book! ... show more

    • raw, real, and relatable
The essays were raw, real, and somehow relatable despite our lives having no similarities on paper, the words she wrote hit close to home.

    • The muse becomes the artist
As a guy who’s never read a book of this kind, and who honestly didn’t know much about her prior to reading her snippet in NY mag, I found the book to be very sharp, vulnerable, and honest. It reads like a conversation that you’re having with a cool friend of yours. It’s unpretentious and highly relatable, yet very enlightening. She is a natural writer, and the atmospheres that she creates are palpable, and although we’re worlds apart as people, it’s not hard to see yourself in her shoes. You watch her make her mistakes, each time feeling empowered in the moment, only later realizing how she’s actually being used as an object for someone else’s sexual desire, and struggle along the way to discover what actual power or control she has in the system. By the time the book culminates imo in “men like you” watching her release her anger at all of these situations is almost cathartic, albeit uncomfortable for her. Even though in her dreams she has no punch, in real life she really connects. In the end you feel her coming into her body again and feeling the love around her and the power that comes with trusting and listening to her body and letting go and you begin to feel happy for her, as if she’s gotten one step closer to true empowerment, the cultivating of her own inner peace. ... show more

Review Image by Brittany Galloway Brittany Galloway
this book was phenomenal. emily’s collection of essays paint a picture like no other. it is capturing to see her be so upfront & vulnerable in her unraveling of self realization. rather it be through the horrific things she’s had to endure or the beautiful moments dwindled within the silver linings, it reminds the reader about the emotional turmoil that can follow success & the grace that comes with finding yourself again & again. ... show more

    • Sweet, but expected something more profound
This was like reading the journal stories of a very sweet girl who was fortunate to be blessed with extraordinary beauty and the surface questions of what that means. How she plays into the patriarchal system, how she feels about that. From the way the book was hyped, I thought great revelations might be revealed from the experience of someone so beautiful. As an average woman having experienced similar abuses as many women do, but without the ability to capitalize on them in the Rachel on she is able, I guess I was hoping for the insights to match the promise made by the cover blurb. The patriarchy is a thing. For sure. Sexual abuse is a thing sadly many woman experience. How we trade in for better is a thing. Most of us do it. And I guess my slight disappointment was not her fault. It’s another point proven by the publishers. There are so many Womens voices trying to speak on this. In independent books I’ve read on Amazon that has to be self published because they didn’t have enough of a social media following to be given a platform to speak like this book was. She is young. And it’s always important when female voices are allowed to speak and given a backing to be heard widely. It is yet another privilege of this book that it was. It was like reading heartfelt letters of a younger person who hadn’t really yet had the time in a life to truly speak into what the publishers promised. So really if I could I would hug her and say, I know. Yes. We all know. We experience it too. I wanted what the publishers promised. And that’s not her fault. On a fun note, I enjoyed being let into what it was like to be extremely beautiful and have a life that rewarded that on a top tier level. It was an interesting foray She’s a stunning girl. And sweet. I enjoyed the leak into what a life like that was like. I wish the best for her. ... show more
