      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 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. Ratajkowski, an acclaimed model and actress, engaged political progressive, formidable entrepreneur, and global social media phenomenon, explores her journey from world fame at twenty-one to her evolving thoughts on the commodification of women. This book is a personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, examining men's treatment of women and the rationalizations women make for accepting that treatment. Through essays chronicling pivotal moments in her life, Ratajkowski investigates the culture’s fetishization of female beauty, its obsession with women's sexuality, the fashion and film industries' dynamics, and the complexities of consent and abuse. Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, this work marks the debut of a courageous and intelligent writer.
