“Girl Power,” co-opted from the Riot Grrrl movement, has come to mean for many young girls encountering it for the first time the celebration of “girl things”; fun tied to conventional definitions of femininity that is often dependent upon consumption. In its mainstream permutations it cannot be confused with feminism: even the former Ginger Spice, Geri Halliwell, describes “feminism” as “a dirty word.” However, less “serious” than feminism, Girl Power is playful and does not “threaten boys.”No I wouldn’t. We all admire strong, independent women, but I’m a romantic. I like a man who opens doors for me, takes me out to dinner, buys me flowers. I like men to treat women like women, and I think many other women do too.Subscribed to Publisher
This female British group not only redefined the meaning of "Girl Power", they have been dubbed the "biggest UK pop phenomenon of the 90's", taking the world by storm. Their attitude may have packed more punch than their voices, but their talent as performers, a long list of catchy songs, attractiveness, and business savvy have made them not only huge influences on young female teenagers around the world, but international pop superstars.
Everyone knows they were a group of five before becoming a foursome, with the departure of Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell. Although you may not have actually been to see Spiceworld, you have definitely heard of the Spice Girls if you live on earth.
