Summary

From the moment they burst into our lives, the Spice Girls have inspired millions around the world.

Emma, Geri, Melanie C, Mel B and Victoria were adored and admired in equal measure. Their determination, fierce independence and Girl Power philosophy have motivated generation after generation of young women.

Sunday Times bestselling biographer Sean Smith reveals what life was really like for the fab five, before and after they found fame – the ups and downs, personal conflicts, break-ups and controversies, health issues and trials of parenthood. Baby, Ginger, Sporty, Scary and Posh have always been so much more than their iconic image.

They conquered a male dominated music industry, raised twelve children between them while, over the years, their reunion tours have led to renewed outpourings of affection and excitement: the story of five ordinary women achieving extraordinary things is as wonderfully resonant and powerful as ever.

Very interesting and informative

This is a very entertaining listen about one of the most phenomenal success stories of our lifetime. As much as the Spice Girls often irritated me growing up, there was always something very captivating and inspiring about them. It's very interesting to hear what their journey was like. I enjoyed listening to this.

Loved it

Bit of nostalgia for me, but enjoyed every minute.
I was 23 when they came out and just had a baby. It was fascinating to see women my age doing things differently.
