Emily Ratajkowski takes to social media to announce upcoming new book of essays titled My Body

Emily Ratajkowski took to social media Thursday to announce an upcoming book of essays titled My Body.

The 29-year-old model and actress shared the news with her 26.8 million followers on Instagram and 1.5 million on Twitter by posting a photo of a stack of unbound papers with a title page reading ‘MY BODY An Essay Collection by Emily Ratajkowski’.

‘Thrilled and humbled to announce my book of essays entitled ”My Body” will be published by Metropolitan Books @macmillanusa @henryholtbooks. It’s surreal to be working with an imprint that has published so many writers I admire (Noam Chomsky! Edward Snowden!) Now it’s time to get to work!,’ she wrote in the caption.

Metropolitan Books will publish My Body in 2022.

According to Metropolitan, an imprint of Henry Holt and Company, Ratajkowski will explore ‘what it means to be a woman and a commodity,’ how men treat women and why women permit it.

‘Emily Ratajkowski reveals herself to be devastatingly honest, nuanced, and strong — I’m not surprised that she thinks of herself first as a writer,’ Metropolitan editor Sara Bershtel told the Associated Press last week in a statement.

‘I also admire how outspoken she is, how political, and how unafraid – what force she’ll be!,’ Bershtel added.

Ratajkowski first rose to fame in 2013 through her starring role in the Blurred Lines music video, in which she appeared alongside singer Robin Thicke, 43, as well as featured artists T.I., 40, and Pharrell Williams, 47.

The Blurred Lines video has amassed roughly 693 million views on YouTube since its release seven years ago.

Ratajkowski has become an entrepreneur with her Inamorata swimwear line. 

The self-identified feminist has been an advocate for women’s health issues as a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood and has designed dresses with part of the proceeds given to the non-profit organization.

Ratajkowski on the political front has supported Bernie Sanders’ two presidential campaigns.

She wrote a first-person essay published last month by New York Magazine titled Buying Myself Back that examined the power dynamics behind the exploitation of her image.
