I think this is the feminist book all women should be reading right now. I respect this woman so much. Speaking her truth and carving an outlet for other women to speak their truths too. This book is heavy. I was blĂ© to empathize with this woman and I saw parallels with the objectification of women just normally but emphasized in modeling. This book was a real story from someone who is more than just a body.

Powerful, moving, and a testament to what it means to be a woman in our modern age. Emrata is an artist, through and through.

I really loved this read and Emily's meditation on what it's like to have the privilege to make it big in an industry that sexualizes and objectifies you, and realize down the road you never truly achieved any power. You just got perks like money and status but that the real power continues to be in the hands of rich men who use that power to continue to do harm.
I also really appreciated the honestly with which she explores the internal conflict of wanting the attention of scary, powerful men, and how we're taught to find validation in that even though it's violent towards us. There's a promise of power and empowerment there if you can be a big girl and tough it out. Emily's not the "perfect victim" and it's important to share stories like that because it's true to life. You shouldn't have to be this "perfect victim" to have the harms done to you acknowledged and addressed.
