"I want more for myself. I will proclaim all of my mistakes and contradictions, for all the women who cannot do so, for all the women we've called muses without learning their names, whose silence we mistook for consent. I stood on their shoulders to get here."

In My Body, Em Rata unpacks her relationship with her body - her source of fame, her source of security, and a piece of her that is constantly evolving as she grows.

And that's all this book is, and all it claims to be. There are other stories to dissect the particulars and modalities that are constantly in flux and in contradiction as Emily grows from a quintessential YOLO youth with pretty privilege to being thrust into the limelight as an example of what is (or what isn't) feminism, to legal cases literally determining the ownership of her likeness.

Extremely well-written and easy to connect to. I loved that there wasn't a clear angle for this book and that, instead, it embraced the conflict of different aspects of the relationship between person and body.

I really wanted to like this book, but it is a stretch to say it is a book about feminism. It’s a memoir. Really enjoyed the last essay in the book however.
