CEO featured in Ivanka Trump's new book demands retraction
Ivanka Trump's new book, "Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success," was released on Tuesday, and it's already being met with controversy.
Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani, whose success story is featured in Trump's new work, urged the first daughter remove the passage, lest she stop being "complicit," a term used to describe Trump in a perfume commercial parody on "Saturday Night Live" last month.
.@ivankatrump don't use my story in #WomenWhoWork unless you are going to stop being #complicit#askivanka

Saujani, whose non-profit organization seeks to support women in computer science, isn't the first to speak out about being included in "Women Who Work."
UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall was also surprised to learn she was quoted in the book.
"What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
While she was unaware she would be included in the work, Goodall didn't request a retraction. Rather, she offered one piece of advice to the president's daughter.
"I sincerely hope she will take the full import of my words to heart," she told CNNMoney. "She is in a position to do much good or terrible harm."
