book club: meditations on emily ratajkowski's "my body"

about a month ago, model and actress emily ratajkowski released a collection of personal essays in a book titled "my body." the book quickly became one of the most read––and most instagramable––books of 2021, with praise and criticism coming from every which way. i read it shortly after it came out, and after sitting with it for a few weeks, i have some thoughts. join me as i chat about its cultural work as a memoir, as a piece of activism, and interrogate parts of it through a feminist lens. *disclaimer: this is 100% just my opinion and should not be taken as fact. feel free to respectfully disagree with anything i have said, and form your own opinion!* xx liv
