Emily writes cleanly, and knows how to tell a story. This is not a book about feminism per se tho, as advertised. It is rather a book by a woman figuring out her view of the world and the many contradictions she inhabits and profits from.

This is also a book where the author constantly universalises her experience, demonstrating the limits of her analysis. ‘Model or influencer or actor or not, all women know what it’s like to use their sexuality for security in some capacity, I thought��, she says at one point, but is that true? Many statements like this were made, assertions that distract. The threads I found the most interesting were rarely delved into or brought to satisfying conclusion.

Emily is in a ‘position to know�� and is working to convert that into wisdom. She asks many questions and offers few answers - or changes in her behaviour. Perhaps the questions she ask will be useful thought provocations for her audience, but this unfortunately fell short of providing any new insight for me.
