Beyonce Calls Herself A “Modern Day Feminist”, Vogue UK Cover

Always the main attraction, Beyonce makes her debut on the cover of Vogue UK. For the magazine’s May feature she discusses the courage motherhood gave her, naming her upcoming world tour, “The Mrs.Carter” show, and the toll performing takes on her body. She evens gets a little political sharing her views on equal rights for women.

On Naming Upcoming World Tours The “Mrs. Carter” Show
“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.”

Her Belief On Equal Rights
“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.”

On Her Demanding Career
“I’m always bruised somewhere – my legs, my hips. But you’ve already started so you’ve just gotta fight through it.”
