Emily Ratajkowski has never shied away from showing skin in the name of feminism. And her latest editorial is no exception.
For a photoshoot accompanied by a personal essay in Harper's Bazaar'sSeptember issue, the actress and Inamorata swimwear founder poses in a black lacy bra with her arms stretched overhead, revealing a dark patch of underarm hair. In the essay, Ratajkowski discusses the societal treatment of female sexuality and what it means to her to be über-feminine.

"If I decide to shave my armpits or grow them out, that's up to me," she writes. "For me, body hair is another opportunity for women to exercise their ability to choose — a choice based on how they want to feel and their associations with having or not having body hair."

Growing out her body hair makes her feel sexy, Ratajkowski continues, adding that it's all about her right to choose.
"There is no right answer, no choice that makes me more or less of a feminist, or even a 'bad feminist,'" Ratajkowski notes, quoting author Roxane Gay. "Ultimately, the identity and sexuality of an individual is up to them and no one else."
