Emily Ratajkowski admitted she "almost didn't post" photos from the CFDA Fashion Awards because she knew her abs showing would "stir up" controversy.

"Whatever influence and status I've gained were only granted to me because I appealed to men," Ratajkowski wrote in the introduction of her book. "My position brought me in close proximity to wealth and power and brought me some autonomy, but it hasn't resulted in true empowerment.
"That's something I've gained only now, having written these essays and given voice to what I've thought and experienced."
