The actress and women's rights activist explained that she has always been aware of her "secret powers" as a female, but continues to fight alongside other women in the entertainment industry for a chance to be "heard creatively" alongside her male peers.
Speaking in an editorial in the new issue of Stylist magazine, which she guest edited, she said: "As a human who self-identifies as a women I've struggled to understand what the word 'woman' means to me. I knew I held secret powers, regardless of how I defined it, but some of my experiences growing up showed me differently. For example, in the entertainment industry, women are still fighting for equal pay, or to be equally heard creatively with our male peers.
"And that's not even getting into the racial, disability, non-binary, sexual orientation and other stigmas that add more unnecessary oppression."
Brie will star as Carol Danvers in upcoming superhero movie 'Captain Marvel', which is the first stand-alone female film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the blonde beauty insisted that although the industry has changed, it's not yet happening organically.
She added: "Inclusion is not happening organically yet - it requires thought and pointed action. But it gives me strength to know that who we are has almost nothing to do with puberty or who gives you butterflies in your stomach.
"Our minds, our bodies, our dreams, our ambitions; the day we fuel ourselves is vast. And it's still growing."
