Join the VN Residency Book Club as we dive into another roundtable discussion on feminism, objectification, empowerment, and all the blurred gender lines in between through the lens of Emily Ratajkowski's anthology and current New York Times Besteller, My Body. Participation is open to both residents & non-residents and includes a reading kit & apéro with Roxanich's natural wine.

My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. 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 gray area between consent and abuse.
