| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group that formed in 1994. The members consist of Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, and Geri Halliwell. They are signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, "Wannabe," in 1996. Under the guidance of their long-time mentor and manager Simon Fuller, the group embraced merchandising and became a regular feature of the British press. Each member of the group was given an alias by Top of the Pops magazine in 1996, which were adopted by the group and media alike. They are the biggest cultural icons of the 1990s, according to a survey carried out by Trivial Pursuit, winning by 80 percent in a poll of 1,000 people carried out for the board game, stating that "Girl Power" defined the decade. This book studies Spice Girls including Spice, Wannabe, return of the Spice Girls, Girl Power, and Cool Britannia.
