It sounds like the answer would be obvious, but you never know with this compelling, contrary-Mary artist.
So let’s ask the question: does Gaga call herself a feminist? And, if so, what does being a feminist mean to her?
“Yes,” she replies firmly and immediately. “I’m certainly a feminist. A feminist to me is somebody that wishes to
protect the integrity of women who are ambitious. A feminist in my opinion is somebody
that regards that women have a strong intelligence and wisdom. That we are just as great as men — and some of us can be even better.” She namechecks author/poet/civil rights campaigner Maya Angelou. “I can’t imagine that this woman wasn’t greater than some of the men of her time.
“I want to fight for the female performer, the female artist, the female musician,” she states firmly. “This is the type of feminist that I am: that women can be tremendous artists.”
