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.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNuanced, unflinching, and incisive, \u003ci\u003eMy Body\u003c\/i\u003e marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307307245950,"sku":"NW9781529415919","price":10.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781529415919.jpg?v=1778510100","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/my-body-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
