such a great read, i really like the way this was written. i had some concerns before reading this book but thankfully i was wrong. this touched on so many important topics and in my opinion everything was handled well. my fav essay by far was "men like you" (

Simply incredible. Any reservations one may have about Ratajkowski as a writer because of her modeling career should put those reservations aside because Ratajkowski has proven what a talented writer she is with these essays and her voice should be welcomed by all. (

Mijn lijf. Door: Emily Ratajkowski.

Emily is model, activiste, actrice, ondernemer en nu ook schrijfster. Ze werd wereldberoemd als één van de 3 vrouwen in de videoclip bij Blurred Lines. En ze is knap, heel knap.

Daarom is zij ook de uitgelezen persoon om op de vraag: “Wat betekent het om een vrouw te zijn, een product?” te antwoorden. Deze bundeling van essays is daar een poging toe. Vanuit haar eigen ervaringen geeft zij een inkijkje in een wereld die mijlenver van die van mij is verwijderd maar toch raakvlakken met mij (en alle vrouwen) blijkt te hebben.

De vervreemding van haar lichaam, het schemergebeid tussen toestemming en misbruik, het twijfelen over hoe je je lichaam wil presenteren, het ongemak om het open te stellen voor artsen allerhande,…. Ze stelt geen vragen, geeft geen antwoorden en toch verruimt ze je blik en zet ze je aan het denken. Door haar eigen, unieke ervaringen eerlijk met ons te delen. Wat kan en mag een vrouw doen met haar lichaam? Hoe wordt daar over geoordeeld? Door anderen, door jezelf? Wie heeft de eigenlijke macht in handen? Verandert je kijk daar op door ouder te worden, door negatieve ervaringen of door het veranderende tijdsbeeld?

Ratajkowski schreef een vlot lezend, boeiend, aan het denken zettend boek. Ik ben benieuwd naar wat ze nog meer voor ons in petto heeft! (

"My Body offers a lucid examination of the mirrors in which its author has seen herself, and her indoctrination into the cult of beauty as defined by powerful men.

A "MOST ANTICIPATED" AND "BEST OF FALL 2021" BOOK FOR * VOGUE * TIME * ESQUIRE * PEOPLE * USA TODAY * CHICAGO TRIBUNE * LOS ANGELES TIMES * SHONDALAND * ALMA * THRILLEST * NYLON * FORTUNE

A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time

Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture's commodification of women is the subject of this book.
My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski's life while investigating the culture's fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women's sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the gray area between consent and abuse.
Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence.
