About this listen
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 21, 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 grey area between consent and abuse.
Nuanced, unflinching, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence.
A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books
"Ratajkowski shares thoughts on sexuality, feminism, and power dynamics in a nuanced way that will have listeners looking for more from her." (AudioFile)

Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy.

Discovered at twelve years old, Madison Beer was one of the first artists to have her entire life documented online. Over the past decade, she has navigated the spotlight as a child, through her teenage years, and now as a young woman in her twenties. In The Half of It, Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her. Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?

Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.

Loved it!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Emily read her story. It felt like a conversation with an old friend - incredibly relatable & filled with honest truths about what it means to be a woman in our time. We are the same age & I felt this would resonate deeply with any woman from this generation.

Vulnerability
Pleasantly surprised by this. Ratajkowski has been in the public eye since I was a middle schooler but I believe this is the only time we’ve really seen her.
Her thoughts surrounding feminism, the objectification of women and desirability are so articulate yet relatable to women despite not having the lived experiences of a famous model. In the chapter, “Men Like You,” Ratajkowski gets choked up while narrating her words and so do I while listening - that vulnerability from an author shows how personal these essays are to her and I truly valued + felt connected to her perspectives.

Inspiring for women
I appreciate Emily’s vulnerability. She shares her stories that many women and people go through. She made me feel less alone.

Beautifully written and vulnerable
Emrata has gifted us with a beautiful narrative of her life and both her unique perspective and that of all women. Proving (without needing to) that she is indeed a writer.

Brilliant
My favourite book this year. It’s deceptively simple, but she captures the true complexity of women and the function of their appearance so brilliantly. She’s such an incredibly keen observer of how commonplace the commodification of women is.
And she does this all in such a compelling and “can’t put the book down” kind of way!
Really looking forward to reading more from this author (and hopefully longer, I could listen to her for many more hours).

Described so well what women go through
I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got the book. The book was so well written from start to finish and it described so many things I went through as a woman as well, it’s nice to know that we are not alone in our perception of how differently women experience this world. Emily articulated it in such a raw and real way and it inspired me to keep going too despite also having experiences like that with men.

Too short.
It was too good which meant I finished it too quickly and got the end-of-an-amazing-book-sads earlier. That's my only complain.
Emily is a fantastic writer and lovely reader, and the healing power of her words cannot be understated. Her experiences are intriguing and delivered with a backbone of universal truth that will leave many women feeling seen, and maybe reverse some of the trauma by a thousand cuts we experience under our current values system.
Bravo, and thank you Emily for your vulnerability and bravery.
