Beyonce on the covers of Vogue and Cosmopolitan magazines May issues

When asked by Vogue magazine if she considered herself a feminist, Beyonce replied...

'That word can be very extreme...But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality. Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I’m just a woman and I love being a woman. I do believe in equality and that we have a way to go and it's something that's pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept. But I'm happily married. I love my husband.'
