She's released a string of female empowering anthems over the years both as a solo artist and with her group, Destiny's Child.
However, when it comes to being labelled a feminist, Beyonce admits she isn't so sure if the term applies to her.
Posing for the new May issue of British Vogue, the 31-year-old discusses how she feels about feminism and her role as a wife and mother.
What it means to be a woman: Beyonce opens up on
her views on feminism as she poses in a Chanel jumper for the new issue
of British Vogue
When asked if she considers herself a feminist, she 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.'
While
Beyonce has achieved so many things many women haven't, she
acknowledges the world still has a lot of room for improvement when it
comes to equality.
She explained: '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.
The full interview with Beyonce is in the May issue of British Vogue, on sale Monday 8th April
'But I'm happily married. I love
my husband.'
Since marrying
Jay-Z in 2008 and becoming a first-time mother to daughter Blue in
January 2012, Beyonce admits she feels like a different person.
She said: 'I feel like Mrs Carter is who I am, but more bold and more fearless than I've ever been.
'It
comes from knowing my purpose and really meeting myself once I saw my
child. I was like, "OK, this is what you were born to do." The purpose
of my body became completely different.'
Although
Blue is too young to know her future right now, Beyonce insists she'll
be happy whether her little girl follows her parents into entertainment
or not.
She added: 'I definitely want my daughter to have goals and drive and passion - it has to be a balance.'
