My Body by Emily Ratajkowski
emotional
medium-paced
4.5
I appreciate the perspective Ratajkowski offers on her life. I loved her conversational, honest, vulnerable, and witty tone. She hit the nail on the head on how to talk about such difficult topics, and it added so much to her narratives on modeling culture, social media, what it means to be conventionally attractive, the dynamics that creates with powerful men, as well as her thoughtful descriptions of her relationships with other women. Her pieces on the art that's been created of her image were especially powerful, and rightfully upsetting. I wouldn't call this an easy read, but being a woman in the patriarchy isn't easy either.
Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Body shaming and Eating disorder
Minor: Death of parent
* I don't know if her mother has died, but she discusses her illness in depth.
