Beyoncé, who recently showed her utmost feminist side by sharing her attitudes regarding gender inequality in her essay "Gender Inequality Is A Myth," now becomes a subject of academia, as a prestigious university offers a feminist course on the "Drunk in Love" singer.

Called "Politicizing Beyoncé," the course given by the Department of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, New Jersey, focuses on "American race, gender, and sexual politics."

"This isn't a course about Beyoncé's political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama's inauguration weekend," says Kevin Allred, a doctoral student who is in charge of teaching the course.

The class will closely examine an analysis of the music videos and song lyrics of Mrs. Carter, who carries multiple alter egos as a performer, role model, fashion designer, mother and wife, accompanied by readings from black feminists in the history.

"She certainly pushes boundaries," says Allred. "While other artists are simply releasing music, she's creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona."

The lecturer also explained that he discovered the work of the feminists in the library while growing up in Utah. "Their work resonated with me in ways that other content hadn't," he added. "I found myself identifying with their writing because racism, sexism, homophobia, and privilege are larger systems under which we all operate."

Kevin Allred plans to only assign readings by black feminist writers, such as Bell Hooks, Alice Walker and Sojourner Truth.

"We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality," says Beyoncé. "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."
