Synopsis

Random House presents the audiobook edition of What Would the Spice Girls Do? written and read by Lauren Bravo.

'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.’ Stylist

I sat and read this in one sitting on Sunday (the small perks of a dodgy stomach and a broken phone). I knew it was going to be great, Lauren is one of the best writers out there right now (it’s a source of endless jealousy) but I didn’t expect the emotional, hilarious, rigorous head-nodding, delicio......more

Goodreads review by AnnaG on December 08, 2018

A lovely, happy walk down memory lane of 90s nostalgia! Lauren reminded me of all the great things about Girl Power and uncovered some aspects of the songs, I'd never even noticed. For the sections that are actually on the Spice Girls, their fans and the 1990s - definitely 5*. The book then gets a li......more

Goodreads review by Georgia on January 31, 2021

It’s hard to put into worlds what the spice girls mean to me. I am someone who is constantly told, even to this day, that I’m too common, too loud, too brash, too outspoken, too unladylike, too uneducated... the list goes on. The spice girls are my constant reminder that I can do and be and wear wha......more

Goodreads review by Philippa on April 27, 2020

I love this book. It’s packed full of 90s nostalgia and had me giggling all the way through. Lauren Bravo is an excellent writer and I can’t wait to pick up her book on fast fashion.......more

Goodreads review by Jemima on January 26, 2019

Though I was three years too young to love the spice girls at their peak, I loved every sentence of this book. From the writing style to the A+ observations of pop culture, I’m obsessed with everything this author has to say......more
