What Would the Spice Girls Do?
What Would the Spice Girls Do?: How the Girl Power Generation Grew Up | Lauren Bravo
4 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
'A joyous and energetic celebration of girlhood, friendship and pop culture. If you have ever sung into the lid of a can of Impulse body spray, you need to read this.' Daisy Buchanan The words 'girl power' conjure vivid memories of short skirts and platform boots. But it wasn't just about the look, it was about feminism. The Spice Girls gave a generation their first glimpse of the power of friendship, of staying true to yourself, of sheer bloody-mindedness. And the girl power generation went on to kick-start a new conversation around gender equality. We may have grown up asking What Would the Spice Girls Do?, but their particular brand of feminism is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago we still need that fun and fearlessness, we still need accessible and all-embracing equality... we still need a zig-a-zig-ah. Lauren Bravo is one of my very favourite writers. Dolly Alderton The Spice Girls arrival on the pop scene marked the gateway to a modern form of feminism, all dressed up as a riotously good time.

2 of 3 of my book orders arrived yesterday but I was in London to see Hamilton & didn't get back til late, so posting today instead. 2 of these are #blameitonlitsy, 1 is the next in one of my favourite series (the Brandreth), 1 is the first in one of the series I got from #SantaThing (Parot) & the Willes can be blamed on one of my #currentreads (the Restoration guide)!

TrishB Great stack 👍🏻 hope you enjoyed Hamilton - I loved it. 5y
Hornsby78 Color me green with envy about you seeing Hamilton!! 💚💚💚 5y
