In a new excerpt obtained by the New York Times from her forthcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, which hits bookshelves on Tuesday, the 41-year-old acknowledged that while it may be confusing for some, posing nude is liberating for her. She wrote:

“I know that a lot of people don’t understand why I love taking pictures of myself naked or in new dresses. But I think if they’d been photographed by other people thousands of times, prodded and posed for other people’s approval, they’d understand that I get a lot of joy from posing the way I feel sexy and taking my own picture.”

That definitely makes a lot of sense! We mean, why wouldn’t she want to take back some of the power?? Even if some don’t approve!
