mvtilleymint 's review for:
My Body
by Emily Ratajkowski
This is a thoughtful series of essays focusing on a theme or event in Emily Ratajkowski's life, taking an in-depth look at self-image, celebrity culture, the idea of beauty and body image as well as acting as a social commentary on men, power and class.
Emily has an interesting perspective on the Hollywood machine and shares her lived experiences through some of what the public will recognise her best for - the blurred lines video, her NY times essay, her role in Gone Girl, etc.
Some of her essays are strikingly moving - the complexity of dealing with an abuser's passing, her mother's idealisation of an impossible standard of beauty and the consistent examples of how models / women are treated by powerful men.
I really enjoyed her views and her ability to dissect situations and her self-awareness. At some many times in her life, her image or body has been abused or used without her consent and Emily discusses the complexities of this as ultimately its how she made living, entered motherhood and her experiences of womanhood.
I'd definitely read any future books!
