Beyonce appears on Vogue, talks about feminism, confidence and being a new Mum

In her second Vogue cover of 2013, Beyonce is talking about her role in feminism and hernew found confidence all thanks to becoming a mom.
When asked of she considers herself a feminist, Bey 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."

On her newfound confidence: "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."

On whether she's supportive of daughter Blue Ivy becoming an entertainer: "I definitely want my daughter to have goals and drive and passion - it has to be a balance."
