À propos de cet audio

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 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.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Emily read her story. It felt like a conversation with an old friend - incredibly relatable & filled with honest truths about what it means to be a woman in our time. We are the same age & I felt this would resonate deeply with any woman from this generation.

Loved it!

Pleasantly surprised by this. Ratajkowski has been in the public eye since I was a middle schooler but I believe this is the only time we’ve really seen her.
Her thoughts surrounding feminism, the objectification of women and desirability are so articulate yet relatable to women despite not having the lived experiences of a famous model. In the chapter, “Men Like You,” Ratajkowski gets choked up while narrating her words and so do I while listening - that vulnerability from an author shows how personal these essays are to her and I truly valued + felt connected to her perspectives.

Vulnerability

I appreciate Emily’s vulnerability. She shares her stories that many women and people go through. She made me feel less alone.

Inspiring for women

Emrata has gifted us with a beautiful narrative of her life and both her unique perspective and that of all women. Proving (without needing to) that she is indeed a writer.

Beautifully written and vulnerable

My favourite book this year. It’s deceptively simple, but she captures the true complexity of women and the function of their appearance so brilliantly. She’s such an incredibly keen observer of how commonplace the commodification of women is.
And she does this all in such a compelling and “can’t put the book down” kind of way!
Really looking forward to reading more from this author (and hopefully longer, I could listen to her for many more hours).

Brilliant

I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got the book. The book was so well written from start to finish and it described so many things I went through as a woman as well, it’s nice to know that we are not alone in our perception of how differently women experience this world. Emily articulated it in such a raw and real way and it inspired me to keep going too despite also having experiences like that with men.

Described so well what women go through

Great and refreshing

What a joy to listen to Emily’s perspective on sexuality, feminism, and the commodification of the human form.

I was impressed by the way she highlighted issues of class, capitalism, women’s rights and the concept of “ownership”.

I appreciated that she talked about her strengths, as well as her weaknesses, fears, vulnerabilities and traumas in a matter of fact yet poetic and eloquent way. There’s no sense she needs sympathy, instead wants to share her narrative as a way to question society and it’s treatment of women.

Pretty rad!

An eloquent and important read

pretty good, I sometimes felt like it was jumping from one story to the next lacking a bit of fluidity. Chapter: "buying myself back" stuck with me, very raw and honest.
Also, I want names she left out!!!!

she wasn't afraid to be honest except with names.
