I didn’t realize this was supposed to be “a collection of essays” instead reading it as a memoir- which is what it honestly is.
I think throughout the book what I feel the most for her is sadness- and sadness for all the other women that see the world in this way. It’s honest, and raw at times but bleak and sad. I think this book really hits the point home that female nudity and exhibitionism as “empowerment” is a lie. It’s good for the people that might vulnerable to those lies to hear it from someone like EmRata who really made it to the top of that game as it were.
Thought provoking, as I contemplate raising a daughter this had some good “don’ts” based on her stories of her parents

Evelyn Hugo would’ve loved this. Emily is an amazing storyteller, and it is so empowering to see her reclaim her narrative of the past & present.
I knew she was more than what people thought of her as; I knew she was smart and strong. But sis is a brillliant writer. It was beautifully done. I cannot emphasize that enough. Not only was the content thought-provoking, but the writing was stellar. Anyone who disagrees is jealous IMO.
Beautifully written and a fascinating insight into the power and challenges of living in the body of a beautiful woman.
