What Would the Spice Girls Do?: How the Girl Power Generation Grew Up by Lauren Bravo
4.0
This book is a fresh breath of nostalgia and, in a way, vindication. All at once. I found this new look at what the Spice Girls meant in the 90s very interesting and how, despite the prejudices and comments they had to go through, this group of women knew how to bring to the fore a new way of understanding Girl Power and showing the thousands of young fans in the world, that there are different types of women and that, whatever you are, that's fine. It is certainly a mime to the heart and memory of all those people who (like me and like Lauren Bravo) love the music of the Spice Girls.
Undoubtedly, these women did not create feminism, but it does have much to thank them for the values that, consciously or unconsciously, showed their audience, given the social impact that Spice Girls had in the 90 (and even today): they didn't seek to be perfect because, like every woman, none is perfect. And that's fine, the important thing is to be aware that female diversity exists and is out there.
Without a doubt, I buy the Spice Girls + feminism combination, Spice up your life!
