My Body

This is the book for every woman trying to place their body on the map of consumption vs control, and every woman who wants to better understand her impulses. It Left Me Much Changed by Lena Dunham. 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.
