Beyonce, Maybe Our Favorite Women's Studies Professor?

It is so amazing how Beyonce isn't only a wonderful pop singer, but an inspirational woman for all the girls around the world. She has been pursuing gender equity out loud, empowering girls to reach the goals they dream to achieve. I have always loved her songs since young, but I didn't know that she had been serving so many wonderful activities around the world. Here are some quotes, pictures, and short clips of her. She definitely encourages me once again!

"We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn’t a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn more—commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect." Click here for her full post.

"We have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible."

"We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life."

"Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities."

"We have a lot of work to do, but we can get there if we work together."
