10 Times Nicki Minaj Proved to be a Feminist Icon

"I always feel it's important for me to show females that they can be in charge of their own situations. When I win and when I lose, I take ownership of it, because I really am in charge of what I do."

"I've always had this female empowerment thing in the back of my mind -because I wanted my mother to be stronger and she couldn't be. I thought, If I'm successful, I can change her life."

"Every woman is multifaceted. Every woman has a switch, whether she's going to be a man-eater, whether she has to kick ass, whether she has to show the guys that she's just as smart or smarter, she's just as talented or creative. Women suppress a lot of their sides."

"If you speak up for yourself, you're a bitch. If you party too much, you're a whore. men don't get called these things"

"Women should be allowed to be as hardcore and sexual as we want because men do it all the time."

"I want to build my empire. In my field, I have always seen men do it, from Diddy to Dre to Jay Z, now it's a woman's turn."

"I stand for the girls wanting to be sexy and dance, but also having a strong sense of themselves. If you got a big ol' butt? Shake it! Who cares? That doesn't mean you shouldn't be graduating from college."

"I just want women to always feel in control. Because we're capable - we're so capable."

"I'm a multidimensional woman. Like all women are. The difference is that I have the balls to take chances."

"When you're a girl, you have to be everything! You have to be dope at what you do but you have to be super sweet and you have to be sexy and you have to be this and you have to be that and you have to be nice. It's like, I can't be all those things at once. I'M A HUMAN BEING!"
