Regarding the essay collection, Metropolitan editor Sara Bershtel said in a statement:
“Emily Ratajkowski reveals herself to be devastatingly honest, nuanced, and strong. I’m not surprised that she thinks of herself first as a writer. I also admire how outspoken she is, how political, and how unafraid, what force she’ll be!”
According to Metropolitan Books, the book will focus on “what it means to be a woman and a commodity,” and gender issues. ‘My Body’ will be published in 2022 by Metropolitan Books.
