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.

Recensione

My Body has become one of the defining titles of 2021 exploring the uncomfortable and ever-shifting space that commodifies and exploits women's bodies with no easy answers ― Stylist

The essays in My Body are an effort to grapple with the themes of power and control in a society where the female body - or at least one that looks like hers - is a valuable commodity ― The Sunday Times

The essay provokes an interesting debate on image ownership in an age where we constantly post ourselves online; who owns a photo - the subject or the model? ― Reaction

Ratajkowski's feelings of shame and embarrassment after being sexually assaulted are movingly portrayed ― Sunday Times

Emily Ratajkowski's first essay collection needs to be read by everyone. She explores body politics - and the politics of her body - through a uniquely feminist lens in stories that are both page-turning and moving as hell ― Amy Schumer

Many stories are heartbreaking ― Yorkshire Post

When her gaze is on herself it is superb. My Body is the end of Ratajkowski's disassociation. She doesn't answer the question: what is a woman for? How can she? It is a universal question. But at least she asks it, and it feels revolutionary ― Telegraph

This irresistibly titled debut from supermodel turned writer Emily Ratajkowski fills in some of the story of just how Ratajkowski came to have one of the most famous faces in the world. But more than that, the book is invested in probing what it means to be in possession of such a face. My Body is a memoir, but it's also-like Sweetbitter or In the Land of Men-a slow, complicated indictment of a profession and the people who propel it. Ratajkowski doesn't so much direct blame at any one person or organization as paint a personal picture of what it was like for her to be young, naive, ambitious, and smart-and to feel reduced, far too often, to a collection of body parts. The book will be alluring to anyone who wants to know what it was like to dance in Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (the cringey video that made Ratajkowski a household name) or what it was like to act alongside Ben Affleck in Gone Girl, but it will deliver a more nuanced and introspective rendering of her interior than those who come to it with those surface interests might expect.

― Vogue

The skill of this book is in the way that Ratajkowski manages to cast her experiences in the glitter-plated hills of Hollywood and LA as entirely relatable which, all things considered, is quite a feat ― Litro

A talented writer ― Press Association

Essential reading

― Red magazine

These well-written, thought-provoking essays are Emily's way of reasserting her control. They make for fascinating, if depressing, reading ― Daily Mirror and Express

Ratajkowski, now 30, writes intimately and her essays are lucid ― i paper and The Scotsman

Raw, nuanced and beautifully written. A moving and enlightening experience to join a woman openly exploring such deep parts of her physical self via the written word. A truly impressive debut

― Emma Gannon

Well worth reading ― The Times

A raw, powerful and reassuring read ― Cosmo

If you read (and liked) her hugely popular essay for The Cut last year, then model Emily Ratajkowski's new book is sure to tickle your fancy too ― Image

Emrata's voice... carries huge weight ― Independent

There's no winning, but perhaps that means there's no real losing either: Any art, any writing, any attempt to detangle ourselves from the cruel stagnation of body-shaming is progress. My Body doesn't cut as deep as I want, but it cuts all the same ― Buzzfeed

My Body is both an acknowledgement and a lament that [Emily's] physique and beauty are at the heart of her fame and success ― Metro

A thought-provoking read body shaming and what empowerment really means ― STELLA magazine

My Body is genuine, powerful, and often eerily relatable ― The Critic

A brilliant, beautiful read ― Poorna Bell

Dazzling ― Observer

A fascinating read ― Sheerluxe

Ratajkowski writes knowingly about the misogyny that is fundamental to the industry ― New Statesman

Model and actress Emily Ratajkowski's compelling essay collection deep-dives feminism, sexuality and power ― The Sun

I admire and envy her artistry ― Guardian

An accomplished debut ― Image magazine

These powerful essays mark a blazing, unexpected literary debut. Emily Ratajkowski interrogates beauty, sex, power, objectification, fame, and betrayal-both by self and other-with lucidity and scorched-earth honesty. I read these pages, breathless with recognition, and the thrill of reading a new voice telling it like it is. ― Dani Shapiro

A quietly furious disquisition on flesh and capitalism ― Evening Standard

My Body is an excellent - if we excuse the pun - body of work. Ratajkowski writes with curiosity, intellect and acute awareness... What may surprise readers is not so much the quality of the prose, which is excellent, but that it is not an easy, pop-feminism read. It's a searingly personal piece, which frequently asks more questions than it answers ― Harper’s Bazaar

Ratajkowski delves into society's obsession with image and celebrity ― Vogue

It's really interesting. Emily says things that a lot of us wouldn't say about Instagram - how she thinks about what she posts because of the likes that she gets and how that can mentally control you. It's very honest and very well-written. Sometimes when you see someone beautiful like Emily, you assume that you know her life [but you don't] ― Laura Whitmore

Ratajkowski takes a subject that has obsessed tabloid media for years ― Sunday Independent

Ratajkowski... writes intimately... at time remarkably candid and raw ― i News

A compelling portrait of loneliness, loss and the spiritual cost of choosing to pick up the tools you were handed to play by someone else's rules ― VICE

Emily has captured-with the acuity of an early Joan Didion investigating the culture of California-the complicated terrain of having a body people want to sell and having her own agenda she refuses to give up. Her prose is by turns honey smooth and vicious, uproarious and wounded. She knows the pain that lives in every woman and she isn't afraid to link arms and say she's been there, and that it hurts. This is the book for every woman trying to place their body on the map of consumption vs control, and every woman who wants to better understand her impulses. It left me much changed. ― Lena Dunham

Ratajkowski offers a fresh perspective on an age-old problem ― Financial Times

An honest and thoughtful first-hand take on the patriarchy and commodification of the fashion industry ― The Skinny

Emily has really laid it out on the table. She criticizes the entertainment and fashion sectors from her own unique point of view while also telling her own story. Couldn't put it down and finished it in a few days, would highly recommend for young women and men interested in this industry. Also bought for my mom and sister!

Easy to take her words and twist them as she's brutally honest about her naivety and willingness to take advantage of her own body, and yet we all travel the same road, and the honest amongst us recognise the path she has taken.

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.

Let me start off by saying that I love this book. It feels like I'm reading the personal diary of Emrata herself, and it kind of is in a way.

Reading about her personal struggles with her sexuality, body image, and mental health within the modelling/entertainment industry was so insightful and really helped me understand the person she is behind the screen. I used to look at her Instagram posts, and wish so hard to have a body like hers. To have full lips, glossy hair, and clear skin. I even went as far as planning what kind of surgeries or "enhancements" i could afford to mold myself into a version of her.

It was something that deeply troubled me, but also I found by reading her book was not uncommon for most women to think of. She too, suffered from jealousy and intrusive self deprecating thoughts.

This is more than a model on a soapbox shouting her inner struggles, it's a window into the human experience as a young woman trying to find herself. Knowing that she actually reads comments, and has been affected by how people perceive her, or their opinions made me think twice about my presumptions towards "famous people".

Knowing that one of the women that i revere as intelligent, beautiful, and creative struggled with the same things I did, makes me feel reassured that we're all just doing the best we can and that I have something in common with a personal idol of mine. It feels awesome.

I hope she can write another book one day, because this one was awesome to read and I'm actually sad it was only 237 pages, because after the last one I wanted more.
