Tonight, a look at the Spice Girls and the girl power phenomenon they have inspired.
Sue Lawley heads an all-female team of reporters to find out if girl power is the feminism of the 1990s or just a marketing creation. There's a gathering of girls from around the country who want to be Spice Girls, and a look at the making of the group. Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley checks out girl power from the Suffragettes to Spice; Anastasia Cooke reports on the growth industry in Spice bands and Denise Mahoney goes in search of five friends who live and breathe the Spice Girls' philosophy.
