My Body

Buying Myself Back: How supermodel and Instagram star Emily Ratajkowski is reclaiming her likeness and defining a new form of feminism. She became famous for her revealing appearance in the video of the worldwide hit "Blurred Lines" by Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke. Less well known and surprising is her other side, which she clearly shows in her new book. "My Body" is Emily Ratajkowski's deeply personal look at feminism, sexuality, power, men's treatment of women, and women's explanations and justifications for accepting that treatment. Ratajkowski's essays trace moments from her life and examine the culture of fetishization of girls and female beauty, her obsession with and simultaneous disdain for female sexuality, the perverse dynamics within today's fashion and film industries, and the gray area between consensuality and sexual abuse. Nuanced, unflinching, and incisive, "My Body" is not only Emily Ratajkowski's writing debut, but a statement positively brimming with passion, courage, and intelligence.
