"Yes. Yes I am. I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind controlling about the way we’re taught to view women. My work is, both visually and musically, a rejection of all those things, but more importantly a quest. And it’s exciting. It’s exciting because all of the avant-garde clothing, and the lyric and the musical style that was at a certain time, and at once considered weird or odd or unattractive, uncomfortable, shocking, it’s now trendy. Perhaps we can make women’s rights trendy. Make women’s rights, feminism, strength, and security, and the power of, the wisdom of the woman. Let’s make that trendy." -Lady Gaga
