Emily Ratajkowski
About this listen
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 audiobook.
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.

Insightful
I’ve never heard someone so accurately voice these kinds of issues. She’s not afraid to say things that I’m sure most people would like to pretend they weren’t thinking.
I found it really intriguing and insightful. It did make me feel a bit pessimistic about the world for a few days, but I’m glad I read it.

Story to Heal the Feminine
Beautifully written. It was insightful and Emily is such a talented writer - nuanced descriptions creating deep empathy and compassion. Easy to follow along and yet still had depth and complexity in her writing.
Unique stories of Emily relating to her body which was relieving to hear her similar trials despite my body being different. I enjoyed hearing her reading - I could hear the depression, relate to the anxiety, hear her begrudging acceptance of things she had lived and hear the heartbreak when her voice cracked.
A heartfelt and deeply feeling memoir. Will be looking forward to reading more of Emily’s future writing.

Real and Vulnerable
This is Emily’s story. I can’t imagine how hard it would have been to be this honest and open. She is real about her inner thoughts and attitudes. I think most woman will be able to relate to parts of her story.

Nice surprise. But heavy listening.
I was surprised to find I really enjoyed listening to this. It was heavy going at times, and her read of it was a little bit monotone l, but it was thought provoking and well written. A very interesting perspective that I wasn’t expecting to hear

Eloquent & Moving
I was so moved by listening to Emily’s experiences in her own words through her own voice. Not only are her stories moving but her prose is vivid and evocative. I hope she continues to write more books because her thoughts are so honest, insightful and compelling.

Loved listening
Well written and beautifully read. An interesting perspective and good insight into the life of a model who is very transparent, intelligent and aware of how she got where she did, but with a cost.

Genuinely pretty good!
I was surprised at how much I liked this book, her insight of body ownership and the peak behind the curtain of modelling is interesting

Couldn’t not put this down
I absolutely loved this. Considering Emily is the same age as me I felt so many similarities to her.
Especially a lot of situations myself or women have been in.
I loved the way she wrote and the descriptive words she used.
A great read! And a must for any woman
