What Would The Spice Girls Do?

This book was so refreshing to read.

The nostalgia was literally dripping off the pages.

I was an actual infant at the height of the Spicemania. I was legitimately 2 years old. But I do remember singing along to Wannabe while I played the Spice World video game on my Playstation. That being said, I definitely had a different relationship with the Spice Girls than author, Lauren Bravo had.

Regardless of what you know about the Spice Girls, you know the mass hysteria surrounding them was something that was going to be remember. What Would The Spice Girls Do? focuses on how 5 young girls from London ushered in a new wave of Girl Power. Scary, Sporty, Baby, Ginger, and Posh were teaching young girls that being a girl meant whatever you wanted it to be. It taught girls how to own their decisions, how to find their personalities, and how to be a bad ass female while doing it.

The rush of nostalgia transported me back to my childhood bedroom. It had lime green walls cover with posters from teen magazines, inflatable furniture, a soccer ball in the corner, and my very own phone line. Reading this made me feel like a little kid again. It made me realize how amazing it is felt to create my own persona. It made me realize how far we've come as a society and how willing we are to accept people for who they truly are. It's amazing and beautiful and a lot of it is thanks to groups like the Spice Girls who truly paved the way for the next generation of Girl Power.
