25 years ago the Spice Girls exploded onto the global pop music scene with their first of many hits Wannabe, bringing to the world the concept of 'girl power' and a whole lot of fun for their fans.

But after all this time, where does the concept of 'girl power' sit in 2021, and what has happened to all those young people who saw themselves represented in Scary, Sporty, Ginger, Baby and Posh?

The Quicky speaks to an entertainment and celebrity journalist, and an expert in gender to consider what impact the Spice Girls had on feminism, and where their legacy stands today.
