What Would the Spice Girls Do?: How the Girl Power Generation Grew Up by Lauren Bravo
4.0
This read found it's way into my Street Library late last year and then my TBR shelf. I enjoy listening to non-fiction so I thought the Chapters For Change Readathon would be the perfect time to indulge in this audio book.
I really enjoyed the journey this book took me on as it comprehensively explored a range of topics from identity, to relationships, concept of girl power and all that merchandise. I liked the little the glimpses into other peoples experiences of The Spice Girls through quotes and the other little tid bits along the way, such as 'If The Spice Girls had a group chat'.
It was funny, different and a great look into a pop culture moment (one that I was too young to understand) that has had an impact on women today. Highly recommend the audio version, read by the author herself - she attempts the voices of each spice.
