Mario Sorrenti Snaps Jennifer Lawrence For Harper's Bazaar US May 2016

Harper's Bazaar May interviews Jennifer Lawrence camped out at New York's Greenwich Hotel, owned by Robert De Niro. Lawrence is in Manhattan for a few days before jetting to Montreal to finish shooting 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.

Lawrence couldn't possibly be interviewed without talking truth on feminism, leaving her to reflect on her essay on equal pay in Hollywood for Lena Dunham's 'Lenny' newsletter. AOC reflectedin-depth on Lawrence's essay and her Variety feature 'Sticking It to the Man'.

In her new feature, Lawrence weighs in again on feminism and strong women, saying:

"I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable." That said, she doesn't think being a pleaser equals being weak. "There's nothing wrong with being a pleaser if you're smart about it," she says. "As long as you're getting what's fair. You know, I want my employers to be happy. I want to please anyone I'm working for as long as they pay me the appropriate amount. I'll make them as happy as they want."

On feminism, she argues, "I don't know why that word is so scary to people; it shouldn't be, because it just means equality. If we are moving forward in a society, you are feeling stronger as a woman, and you want to be taken more seriously. You don't have to take away the wonderful traits that come with being a woman: We are sensitive. We are pleasers. We're empathetic. All those things that can keep you from asking for what you want or making mistakes."
