My Body by Emily Ratajkowski

---

Really enjoyed this - Ratajkowski's a great writer who paints her own (often harrowing) experiences vividly and with enormous courage. Still, I wondered what it would take to move the central question (occasionally at least) from 'is this use of my body empowering for me personally' to 'what are the effects of "self-objectification = empowerment" rhetoric for women as a class.'
