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. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ciu003eMy Bodyu003c/iu003e 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.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eNuanced, fierce, and incisive, u003ciu003eMy Bodyu003c/iu003e marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence.u003c/pu003e
